We have NOT even gotten through the 2019 City of Knoxville elections and a few 2020 Knox County candidates are working and at least one is already doing things to violate campaign rules and laws.
The great news about that is it gives #TheMegaBullhornofTruth material and job security. Oh wait, this is not my sole job.
In 2020, Knox County Commissioner Brad Anders is term limited and not able to seek re-election to the Sixth District Knox County Commission Seat.
I have heard Stacy Cox of Studio Four design is considering a run. Former Anders opponent John Ashley, Former County Commissioner Ivan Harmon, School Board Member Terry Hill are all being talked about as candidates and apparently according to Facebook Robert Voigt is a candidate.
Here’s the problem with Voigt, you are not able to seek (Request) the first dollar or spend the first dollar until you appoint a Treasurer.
Screenshot March 4, 2019 5:09 pm of Financial Disclosures at the Knox County Election Commission online data base, which includes where Appointmeng of Treasurer forms are posted as well. Voigt is NOT there.
According to Facebook, Voigt has paid (or will pay) $200 for the first 40 customers to get $5 off on Tuesday at a local establishment. It is campaign specific, because the establishment says in the post that he is running for Knox County Commission but that it is NOT an endorsement along with a campaign logo.
