Shelby County Register Tom Leatherwood is on WREC with Ben Ferguson to announce his bid for U.S. Congress, running against Rep. Marsha Blackburn in the 7th District. Leatherwood has been Register since 2000, and may be term-limited* in the near future if the County Commission gets its way.
Leatherwood doesn’t have a campaign website up yet, but VoteTomLeatherwood.com was registered on March 13th.
UPDATE: *Make that “will be term-limited immediately if…”

Do you have a location now in Memphis and were?

No, but if there where, I’d let you know.

I get the impression that folks in Memphis don’t like Marsha. No one has ever fully explained to me why. After having a Rep like Tom Petri, she’s a breath of fresh air. :) So, maybe someone could tell me why there is such an aversion to her? :)
