Shocking to no one, Knox County Commission at Large Seat 10 has announced his candidacy for Knox County Mayor in 2026…..Back on May 11, 2016 here on WBIR Bob Thomas, then at Large Knox County Commissioner Seat 10 announced for Knox County Mayor in 2018. Thomas finished third in a crowd of three. In 2019, Thomas then ran for Knoxville City Council at Large and finished third in a crowd of five. There must be something in that at Large Seat 10 that makes the occupant want to jump up and quit.
Let us not forget less than two years ago May 17, 2022 at the Knoxville City Council meeting HERE when he spoke against the budget and pay raises for Knoxville Police and Fire.
In 2023 he supported a budget to raise Knox County Sheriff’s Corrections and Patrol. Knoxville voters cast votes in Knox County elections.
In full disclosure: I (Brian Hornback) am NOT a City of Knoxville property-owner/tax payer.
