He has not rocked the boat too much among liberals or conservatives. His dad was governor. Due to his political connections, likely, his brother is headed for the Tennessee Supreme Court in this next few months (You just wait and see.). But, since another Democrat is currently serving in his house seat he is SOL. Therefore, he is relegated to running for Mayor. In summary, that is what is going on here.
