Republican State Representative David Hawk Disputes Democratic Party Post-Election Numbers

Republican and State Representative David Hawk is debating statistics released by the local Democratic Party the day after the mid-term elections on Tuesday. In a note sent to Radio Greeneville News on Thursday evening Hawk said, “It has come to my attention that in her message related to the November 3rd elections” (which was reported by Radio Greeneville News on Thursday), “Greene County Democratic Party Leader Cheryl Summers suggests Greene County Democrats “celebrate” because “they made progress here in rural Red Tennessee”. She is remarkably wrong in her assessment. Greene County vote totals for Democrats were nearly the same or actually decreased in most circumstances, when comparing 2024 and 2026 November General Elections.

Greene County Thanksgiving Day Outreach seeks volunteers to help feed thousands in need

Volunteers are being sought to help with this year’s Greene County Thanksgiving Outreach, an event which is expected to feed more than 2,500 individuals this year. The annual event held each Thanksgiving Day provides meals throughout Greene County to those who may not otherwise enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. “There is a limit of one meal per household member and requests for meals must be submitted by Nov. 15,” a news release from event organizers says. Those desiring to have meals delivered to their homes may register online via the “Meal Request” link at www.thanksgivingoutreach.org or call 423-467-5144. Last year, the Greene County Thanksgiving Outreach provided meals to more than 2,500 individuals — and organizers expect to feed “at least that many” this year. “Thanksgiving is a longtime American tradition that knows no boundaries,” says Ron Russell, who is serving as chairman of the 2026 Thanksgiving Outreach Planning Committee. “Being able to help the homebound and others in need at this time of the year is meaningful both to the volunteers and the recipients,” he adds.
