Democratic strategery will now be centered in Fountain City

Posted By katie allison granju

I somehow missed this item from mid-May:

Sometime this month, the Knox ?County Democratic Party will finalize a leasing agreement in Fountain City to establish an office space for local candidates and election campaigning through November, but Democratic Party Chairman Don Daugherty says the party will consider extending the Rennoc Drive lease to secure it as a permanent party headquarters, making it the first ever year-round Democratic base to this area.

The Party has strategically chosen the North Knoxville location, which lies directly off Broadway, says Daugherty, to wage war in the seventh county commission district — a historically Republican territory — by the 2010 election.

“Fountain City is in both the second and seventh county commission districts, depending on where you are,” says Daugherty, “and while the second is historically Democratic, the seventh is traditionally Republican. But our numbers tell us, with the new voters moving into North Knox, we can gain some ground.”
