Do no Repubicans want to be a judge in Davidson County?

From the Tennessean:

Davidson County Election Commission records show that 61 people have picked up qualifying petitions for the primaries, and 28 have already qualified, including Peeler and Smith. The deadline to file a qualifying petition is noon on Feb. 20.

At this point, none of the 28 official candidates are Republicans.

All but four of the 28 are running for judicial positions; the other four are incumbents in other posts running for re-election, most of them in and around the court system: Public Defender Dawn Deaner, Register of Deeds Bill Garrett, Circuit Court Clerk Richard Rooker and Juvenile Court Clerk David Smith.

Surely there are some good Republican lawyers who would like a judgeship?  Why are there no Republicans seeking to be be Register of Deeds or Juvenile Court Clerk? It is disappointing that no one is running for the court house seats as a Republican. If Republicans don't run candidates then Republicans will continue to vote in Democrat primaries and Nashville will continue to be a one-party town. Which of the Democrats running for judge are really Republican?
