Cheek Interested in Treasurer Position?
Lots of names have been put into the public discussion for the constitutional officers that will soon be named by the GOP-controlled Tennessee General Assembly (wow, that feels good to write...). Jim Bryson, Bob Davis, and Van Hilleary have been mentioned for Secretary of State, as have others.
No real frontrunner has emerged for the State Treasurer position, but word has reached me by various sources that Vance Cheek, Jr., a former Claims Commissioner under multiple gubernatorial administrations, mayor of Johnson City, blogger, and 1st District Congressional Candidate, may be putting his hat in the ring for consideration.
With a bench as deep as the Tennessee GOP's, I don't envy the party's decision on choosing the new officers.
