Local Elections Belong in Local Hands

Following President Trump’s national address on election integrity tonight, I want to speak directly to the voters of Knox County regarding our upcoming local and state primary elections.

As your Party Chair, I want to declare my full and absolute confidence in the Knox County Election Commission. Our local election officials, staff, and dedicated poll workers work tirelessly to ensure that Knox County provides a safe, secure, and transparent voting experience for every single citizen.

The bedrock of American democracy is that elections are run locally. They should stay that way, free from the overreach and interference of the federal government. Our community knows how to run our elections best, and we prove that every single cycle.

The absolute best way to ensure your voice is heard, your values are represented, and your vote is securely counted is to show up and make your mark.
