First of all, there are three canidates running for the office of sheriff in Lauderdale County. Two are Democrats, one Republician. Willis and Holden are running on the Democratic ticket. Ty Barlett is running on the Republican unopposed. The real race for the office of sheriff will start after the preliminary elections. Don't underestimate Barlett.

Hmmm...one set of good ol' boys for another regardless of the 3 candidates. Willis has his, Holden has his and Barrett certainly has his. Personally, I think Willis does a great job. I think it will be Holden vs him in November.

No. Willis and Holden are Dems. Barrett doesn't have any Repubs opposing him. You'll vote for Willis or Holden next week if you vote in the Dem primary. The winner will face Barrett in the Nov Gen Election.
As Falcon said, both Dems don't have any education, but Willis is the lesser of two evils.

The 45 speed limit in rogersville was set way before Terry Holden took the chiefs job and by the way I think rogersvile writes less tickets since Chief Holden took over because he limits the time that the officers spend running radar because he wants them patroling the neighborhoods catching a detering burgularys like they did this week

servant, who said I had receive a ticket going thru rogersville. I have never receive a ticket there nor do I speed. I go by what the posted limit is at the time. I have studied the people running for this job and in my opinion, holden does not have enough experience to be the sheriff. Running a one horse town police force is not enough to run a 100 horse town. I haven't made a final decision on who I will vote for, but he is not among the major runners. People don't relize that when people travel 72 thru killen and rogersville, 80% are not stopping at these places, they are going thru them to get somewhere else. Highway 72 is a major road as bad as it is and people have to travel it. Like I said just build a bypass 2 or 3 miles north of these two towns and everyone will be happen. The 20% can stop there and they can lower the speed limit to 10 MPH if they want to, but the world does not revolve around these two towns. I haven't hear or read that a 10 MPH reduction has saved any lives there.

To some of the people that were campaigning for terry holden and got a little aggressive about it, it looks like most voters feel like terry was not the best candidate for whatever reason for the job of sheriff.
