Democrat, independent also in Bradley mayor race

CLEVELAND, Tenn. — While three Republican candidates for Bradley County mayor have been in the local headlines, two other candidates have entered the race more quietly.

Paul Krisle is the Democratic Party candidate. He is unopposed on the May 4 party primary ballot.

Erin Fuller is an independent candidate. Her name will appear on the Aug. 5 general election ballot.

Also on the Aug. 5 ballot will be the winner of the Republican primary — incumbent D. Gary Davis, County Commissioner Lisa Stanbery or Chris Weir.

“I decided to run for Bradley County mayor because my vision is different from the current administration,” Ms. Fuller said during a political forum last week. “I’m an independent, so I owe nothing to anybody.”
