Not just any democrat though, the outgoing state senator is going after Sen. Rosalind Kurita – who’s vote ousted him from the LG spot after 36 years…
From WREG-TV:
State Sen. John Wilder is campaigning for the primary opponent of a fellow Democrat who helped foil his bid to extend his record run as Senate speaker.
Wilder had been speaker for 36 years when the 87-year-old Mason Democrat lost to Republican Sen. Ron Ramsey last year.
Ramsey had persuaded Sen. Rosalind Kurita, a Clarksville Democrat, to cross party lines to vote for him over Wilder.
This week Wilder, who is not running for re-election this fall, traveled to Clarksville to campaign for Kurita’s Democratic challenger Tim Barnes.
