By The Editor | June 22, 2007 - 6:31 pm - Posted in Misc.WSMV-TV Nashville has just broken the news that former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) will formally toss his hat in the ring in the GOP presidential race at a press conference scheduled for next Tuesday.
Thompson will also base his national campaign headquarters in Nashville, WSMV is reporting.
A source close to the campaign planning said the announcement will come this Tuesday, June 26, on the steps of the historic Fall School building. WSMV has confirmed that the Thompson campaign has obtained the lease for that building to turn it into a national campaign office headquarters.
“Everything’s in place for Tuesday,” the source said. “There are three major events built around his announcement.”
The source also told WSMV that Thompson will be in Nashville Tuesday for a series of meetings with his top advisers, and that those meetings will culminate with the announcement at the school building.
Thompson organization officials did not immediately return calls for comment.
The Fall School is Nashville’s oldest still-standing school building. It currently houses office space, including a local office for U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander. [WSMV-TV]
