clarifications, correction
Concerning Knox County government offices that are on the ballot for the Tuesday, March 5, Primary election, four points of clarification and one correction should be noted versus what farragutpress published in a page 1A story Wednesday, Feb. 7.
In the Republican Primary race for District 5 Knox County Commission, Michael Bittel is a former candidate, no longer running.
In addition, the paper’s use of the term GOP, which is a Republican acronym nickname standing for “Grand Ole Party,” should not have been used in connection with four candidates, since the use of GOP — in relationship to the Republican primary — could be confusing for some readers who are potential voters.
Republican primary includes Law Director candidate Daniel Herrera, Criminal Court Judge Division II, District 6 candidate Hector Sanchez, District 5 County Commission candidate Angela Russell and District 5 Board of Education candidate Lauren Morgan. The complete list of all Knox County primary candidates whose potential duties would, at least to some extent, include Farragut and Hardin Valley are listed on the bottom of page 1A.
