BACK
BACK ON
BACK ON THE INSIDE TENNESSEE. WE TALK MONEY IN THIS BLOCK. AND WE'RE GOING TO START WITH
THE MAYOR'S RACE EDDIE MAN HAS
SPENT FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY
FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS THE
WINNER INDYA KINCANNON SPENT
TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY SEVEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS PANEL. THAT IS
AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN
THREE OF THE FIVE CITY RACES?
THE PERSON WHO SPENT THE LEAST
AMOUNT OF ONE OF MONEY WON THE
RACE NORTH AND TWO OF THOSE IT
WAS VERY DISPROPORTIONAL I MEAN
EDDIE'S RACE VERSUS INDYA. THAT
WAS WHAT IT WAS 200 NILES MORE
PLUS THAN THAT HE SIR. SO LET'S
TALK ABOUT THAT ONE IN
PARTICULAR. FIRST WE'LL GET TO
THE OTHER THE OTHER RACE IN A
MINUTE BUT WHAT IS SPENDING IN
THE MAYOR'S RACE. SAY TO ALL OF
YOU. WELL I FORGOT YOU IS RIGHT
THAT ON A LOCAL LEVEL I THINK
SUSAN AND I WOULD PROBABLY
AGREE ON OUR NATIONAL LEVEL.
YOU CAN'T GET AWAY WITH A
SHOESTRING BUDGET BUT ON A
LOCAL LEVEL IF YOU'RE SMART AND
AS WE KEEP TALKING HAVE A
GROUND GAME GET YOUR PEOPLE OUT
KNOCK ON DOORS. IT'S ACHIEVABLE
YOU CAN WIN A RACE ON A LOWER
BUDGET THAN YOUR OPPONENT
BECAUSE CLEARLY INDYA KINCANNON
HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOCKING
BUT MY SENSE IS FROM KNOWING
EDDIE MAYNARD FOR YEARS AND YOU
ALL KNOW WELL NO ONE REALLY
OUTWORKED EDDIE TOURCH JUST
ABOUT ANYTHING. SO I WOULD
IMAGINE HIS CAMPAIGN WAS
EQUALLY AGGRESSIVE AT KNOCKING
ON DOORS AND AND TALKING TO
PEOPLE. BUT TELL ME I'M NOT
SURE THAT'S TRUE. I'M NOT SURE
IT IS. THEY'RE NOT I KNOW I
KNOW THEY DID SOME OF THAT BUT
I'M NOT SURE WAS THEIR MAIN
FOCUS. AND WHEN YOU HEAR DON
WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING A LOCAL
RACE YOU HAVE TO KNOCK ON DOORS
IN THE CITY YOU HAVE TO. THAT'S
THE DEFINITION OF GROUND GAME
THAT HANNAH HUSBAND WORKING 12
HOURS KNOCKING ON DOORS ON HIS
BIRTHDAY. RIGHT. SO YOU KNOW
THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT. WELL I
WILL SAY WE WHEN WE ASK BOTH
EDDIE AND INDIA IN OCTOBER WHEN
THEY WERE HERE I SAID HOW MAY
DORSEY UNIQE ON AND THEY BOTH
SEVENTHOUSAND. SO WHILE THEY
DOOR AND I AM IN AN IMPORTANT
PRECINCT BY THE WAY I TAKE THEM
AT THEIR WORD I THINK THEY
PROBABLY DID. I THINK THAT'S
PART OF THE SECRET BUT I DON'T
THINK THAT'S ALL OF THIS. WELL
THE OTHER THING ABOUT THE
GROUND AS WE TALK ABOUT IS IS
GETTING YOUR VOTERS TO THE
POLLS AND I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT
INDIA HAD A MUCH BETTER
OPPORTUNITY AND MUCH MORE
PEOPLE THAT WE'RE GONNA GET OUT
FOR HER ON ELECTION DAY SHE
DIDN'T WIN EARLY VOTING BUT IT
WAS NOT IN MY OPINION THAT SHE
WAS GOING TO GET HER PEOPLE TO
THE FWHO ENERGIZED AND LET'S
SAY MORE. THIS IS THE SUTTON
PASSIONATE INDYA BROUGHT IT UP.
IT IS NONPARTISAN BUT IT'S
STILL PARTISAN AND KKNOXVILLE
IS A DEMOCRACT FEDEX THAT'S SHE
IS A VETERAN OF RUNNING A
CAMPAIGN BEFORE AND SHE HAD ALL
THOSE FOLKS TO TAP INTO SHE
SERVED ON SCHOOL BOARD FOR MANY
YEARS WAS THE CHAIR AT ONE
TIME. LET'S MOVE TO COUNCIL AT
LARGE A AND THE WINNER IN THIS
RACE LYNN FUGARD. SHE THIRTY
NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS HER
CHALLENGER CHARLES LOMAX WHO
WAS A NEWCOMER TO THIS RACE
SPENT 28. HE'S A PASTOR SHE HAS
A BACKGROUND IN BANKING THE CEO
OF GIRL NATS. SO WHAT WOULD YOU
SAY ABOUT THIS RACE AND HOW IT
SHOOK OUT I'M A LITTLE
SURPRISED FRANKLY THAT CHARLES
SPENT THAT MUCH MONEY. IT WAS A
DIFFERENCE OF 80 VOTES I
BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS A VERY
CLOSE RACE. LAND HAS OBVIOUSLY
BEEN ON THE BALLOT SEVERAL
TIMES SCHOOL BOARD. OTHER
THINGS SHE'S RUN FOR AND SHE'S
VERY WELL KNOWN IN THE
COMMUNITY AND HE WAS BRAND NEW
RIGHT. BUT WE HAD HIM ON OUR
SHOW AND WE WERE ALL REALLY
IMPRESSED WITH HIM HE RAISED A
LOT. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. IT
IS. AND REMEMBER YOU KNOW LYNN
EVERYBODY THAT'S IN POLITICS
HAS DONE ONE FOR A LONG ROANE
SCHOOL BOARD. YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE A SEGMENT OF THE
POPULATION THAT'S NOT GOING
RIGHT WHERE LOMAX PROBABLY
DIDN'T HAVE ANY NEGATIVE SPEAK.
LET'S MOVE TO AT LARGE B. THIS
WAS DAVID HAYES AND THE WINNER
JANET TESTERMAN AND HERE WAS
THE DIFFERENCE MONEY WALMARTS A
HUGE HE'S A STAY AT HOME DAD
WORKS IN SOME SOME MARKETING
CLOTNG AND THEN SHE IS THE
CEO OF YOUNGWILLIAMS ANIMAL
CENTER AND YOU CAN SEE THE
DIFFERENCE IN SPENDING AND THE
VOTE MARGIN HERE WAS A LOT.
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED VOTES. YEAH
I THINK YOU KNOW WE FOUND
HAYNES TO BE HE WAS VERY
INTERESTING AND FRESH AND I
THOUGHT IT WAS IT WAS A GREAT
IDEA FOR SOME YOUTH TO GET INTO
THIS RACE BUT IT JANET'S JUST
WELL AGAIN DOESN'T HAVE ANY
STRONG NEGATIVES. AND THAT WAS
NOT A RACE THAT SURPRISED IN
HERE. I WILL SAY THOUGH I THINK
THE MARGIN WAS CLOSER THAN THAN
I ANTICIPATED. I THOUGHT MAYBE
IT WOULD BE THAT JANET WOULD
GET MORE THAN SHE DID 10
LEVELONE PRUITT AND VERY
SIGNIFICANT. YEAH BUT I WAS
THINKING IN THE 60 THE THEY
HOURWE TIMEIS RANGE AND HE
BETTER THAN I THOUGHT AND HE
ALSO SPENT MORE MONEY THAN I
THOUGHT HE WOULD. HE SPENT
AROUND 10 OR 11 K. I HOPE WE'LL
SEE HIM AGAIN. I THINK HE'S
VERY INTERESTING HE COULD BE
GOOD FOR THIS COMMUNITY. WE'RE
GOING TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK
COME BACK AND TALK MORE ABOUT
THE OTHER
