The Election is over, and the results are in

Clarksville, TN – Across Tennessee yesterday, the  voters went to the polls to elect their representatives to variety of Federal, State, and Local offices. In Montgomery County voters cast ballots for the Tennessee Governor, Two congressional seats, three Tennessee House seats,  the Clarksville City Mayor, and half of the city council seats.

In the Federal and Tennessee Governor’s Race, Republicans overwhelmingly won in Montgomery County; and across the state. Tennessee will likely be moving to to a deeper shade of red, as the strong Republican majority will control the upcoming redistricting process.

The Victorious Candidates: Kaye Jones, Geno Grubbs, Kim McMillan, Joe Pitts, Marc Harris, and Bill Summers at the Riverview Inn on election night.

In the hard fought City Mayor’s race, Kim McMillan defeated Jeff Burkhart receiving 48% of the vote. The City Council races went mostly as expected, with the exception of  Ward 11; where Kaye Jones  defeated incumbent Bill Forrester. In Ward 1, Nick Steward was selected by the voters to replace outgoing Councilwoman Barbara Johnson.

Additional election coverage will be forthcoming later in the day.
