Majority of Wilson County committee signs call for meeting
A Democratic Executive Committee in Wilson County plans a January meeting at the Lebanon courthouse to decide on delegates for the Tennessee gubernatorial convention in Nashville in May. Fourteen of twenty six members sign the call, with others reportedly out of reach or not yet clear. The effort seeks to nullify prior conventions as irregular and void and to hold a county wide primary for delegates on or near the Senate primary date in May.
