Campfield’s biggest enemy was a local lib paper who seemed to want him gone. They strangely have yet to write any articles but fluff praise pieces on their DEM city mayor though. No previous Knoxville mayor has enjoyed such good press. Their county mayor-R sure didn’t. Just like a previous state lawmaker that was hounded by the paper for trivial things like taking a dog in a courthouse.
He was similarly attacked in Nashville rags. The left will be ecstatic at getting the most outspoken Conservative in the legislature. Briggs is just another Haslam piglet (and for that matter, so is the leftist Mayor of Knoxville, Rogero).
A little positive news... The J City Press went after Matthew Hill (TN House 4) with guns a-blazing, but He won by ten points.
