Jack Johnson for Senate
Last week, I had the privilege of having breakfast with Jack Johnson, candidate for the Tennessee State Senate. Prior to our meeting, I admit that I didn’t know Jack that well. I had seen him at numerous Party functions. For those of you who do not know him, as you can see from his bio, Jack has been very involved in the Republican Party in Tennessee for years.
Before meeting him, I knew that he had an impressive resume of involvement in Republican politics. However, after I met with him, I left our meeting even more impressed. Jack is a very impressive guy, and he will make a very formidable candidate. He is very personable with a common sense approach to politics. And, I think that anyone who has the opportunity to meet him would likely vote for him. Also, I think that he has a good sense of what he needs to do to win this seat.
I know that Nathan Moore earlier referred to his law partner, Chip Throckmorton, as the “front runner”. After meeting with Jack and keeping my ear to the ground, I will respectfully have to disagree with Nathan. Jack is a very impressive individual who is worthy to assume the seat of our esteemed State Senator, and hopefully, next Governor, Jim Bryson. Good luck, Jack. I know you will do well.

Don’t get me wrong. I think Jeff would do a good job, too. I think that we in Williamson County have the good fortune of having two fine candidates in this race. Actually, prior to that post that you are referring to, I had never had the opportunity to spend a significant amount of time talking with Jack Johnson. Jack has fine conservative credentials and the personality that a successful candidate in this race will need - especially given the time constraints of this rushed race.
I truly believe that one of those two will emerge as the concensus clear front runner in the next month. I definitely want to see how Jeff and Jack do in debates. (I guess I am assuming that there will be debates.)

Isn’t Jack Johnson the Nashville guy with the Brentwood address and the one trying to make us all believe he lives in Williamson County??????

just a few weeks ago I thought you were supporting Jeff Ford?
