Johnnie Anderson narrowly wins Gallatin mayor race in upset

Challenger Johnnie Anderson won a close race among three candidates for Gallatin mayor according to unofficial results from the Nov. 3 election. Anderson had 5,173 votes, edging out Mary Genung with 5,104 votes and incumbent Paige Brown, who had 4,992, based on totals from the Sumner County Election Commission on Nov. 3, which was not yet certified. Brown sought a fourth term after holding the office for 12 years. Anderson is a Gallatin High School assistant principal and Genung is a former Sumner County commissioner. Anderson said he plans to resign from his position at Gallatin High School to focus on being mayor. "I think it was the young people who came out to vote," Anderson said. "I think that was the difference. Twelve years has been a long time and I think people were ready for a change." Several voters at Vol State noted the importance of the high-profile state races that include the governor's seat with Marsha Blackburn (R), Jerri Green (D) and David Hatley (I) in the field along with the local municipal seats.

Marsha Blackburn makes history as the first woman elected Tennessee governor

U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn made history Nov. 3, becoming the first woman elected to serve as Tennessee's governor. “My promise is pretty simple: Tennessee is going to be a state where hard work pays off, where families can put down roots, and where everyone has the opportunity to build a better future,” she told supporters at her election night party at The Pinnacle in Nashville. The Republican candidate's victory came amid a national blue wave that left Democrats poised to control both the U.S. House and Senate. Blackburn said her campaign’s grassroots approach helped propel her to victory. “We ran a different kind of campaign, focused on Tennesseans, not on the media’s terms and not on any other candidate’s terms,” Blackburn said. “We ran a campaign that was for the people of Tennessee, and we have proved that this is how you win. You build a campaign from the grassroots, from the bottom up, not the top down.” Blackburn will succeed fellow Republican Gov. Bill Lee, who is term limited after eight years in office. “Congratulations to Governor-Elect Marsha Blackburn on her victory," Lee said in a statement. "Tennesseans have placed their trust in a conservative leader who understands the
