In my post yesterday of endorsement of candidates running for mayor and metro council in the August 1st election, I failed to post an endorsement of Courtney Johnson. This was unintended. I fully support her candidacy. The elections commission did not have her financial report uploaded at the time I was analyzing council races. That contributed to my failure to list her as someone I an supporting. I have contributed to her campaign and wish her the best.

What party is Courtney Johnston?
ReplyDeleteThis "Non Partison" thing don't cut it. You are in one party or the other. I don't go for a little of both.
I know Courtney Johnson to be a Republican but council races are non-partisan. One does not declare one's political affiliation and one does not run as a member of a party. There is no caucus or primary to chose the parties nominee. In Tennessee, one is a Republican or Democrat purely by identification. We do not have party registration in this state. There is no such thing as a card-carrying Republican or Democrat in Tennessee. In a partisan election however, or for a position as a party official, one may have to prove they are a "bona fide" Republican or Democrat, as the case may be.
