by Rod Williams - Three candidates are seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Senator Steve Dickerson in November. They are Heidi Campbell, Kimi Abernathy, and Zaia Thombre. Heidi Campbell is the mayor of the satellite city of Oak Hill and is the most qualified and appears the front runner in the primary election.
Steve Dickerson may be vunerable. Like the rest of Nashville, the 20th Senatorial district is becoming more liberal. Hillary Clinton beat out Donald Trump in 2016 in the district and in 2018 Democrat Bob Freeman picked up the House seat in the District that had been Republican Beth Harwell's for many years. Democrats are salivating over the prospects of picking up this seat.
In an article in Tennessee Outlook the candidates are profiled and the race analyzed. See, Closely contested Democratic primary foreshadows November showdown for Senate District 20.
