From the Shelbyville Times-Gazette:
State Sen. Jim Tracy (R-Shelbyville) faces a challenge from either Dee Butler or Jean Anne Rogers, both Democrats from Murfreesboro, this November, depending on the outcome of the Aug. 6 Democratic primary.
Lt. Gov Ron Ramsey, a Republican, told Republicans in Marshall County last Saturday that the Democratic Party plans to target Tracy and urged them to contribute to his campaign.
“I don’t know if it’s a target race or not, really,” Tracy told the Times-Gazette on Thursday. “That’s not for me to decide.
“I was elected to represent all the residents of the 16th district — Republicans, Democrats, men, women and children, and I think I’ve done that.”
