Hankerin' For Mr. Cooper's Seat

Lynn Sebourn has launched his website, SebournForSenate.com, for his run for the Republican nomination for state Senate district 14. The seat is currently held by a Democrat appointed by the Warren County Commission to complete the final year the term of Sen. Jerry Cooper, a corrupt Democrat who stole more than $94,000 before retiring.

Sebourn's issues page has an interesting twist: He not only tells you his basic stands on various big issues - taxes, immigration, abortion and more - he also states, specifically, "What I Will Do" on each of those issues.

There are other potential candidates for the Republican nomination for the 14th District senate seat but, so far, Sebourn is the only to officially jump into the race that I'm aware of. The Tennessee Republican Primary does not take sides in a primary.
