TN Senate 08 wrinkle

Submitted by R. Neal on Thu, 04/10/2008 - 06:31.

According to Knoxville's Metro Pulse, a citizen has filed a formal complaint with the Blount County Election Commission stating that Rep. Doug Overbey (R-Maryville) cannot serve as both a sitting judge and a state legislator at the same time, and is therefore not qualified to run against incumbent Sen. Raymond Finney (R-Maryville) for State Senate or hold his current seat in the House.
