NASHVILLE – Fellow Democrats chanted “Run Sara, run!” during the party’s annual fundraiser over the weekend in support of former Tennessee Regulatory Authority Chairman Sara Kyle, who is weighing a challenge to Republican Gov. Bill Haslam in 2014.

Kyle beamed, waved and later worked the crowd of about 500 or so Democrats who attended Saturday night’s annual Jackson Day Dinner in Nashville.

She later told reporters she continues to travel the state, listening to people’s concerns and assessing a bid. Kyle said she has no “timeline” on a decision.

“They tell me they just want to be heard,” Kyle said. “They have issues that are taking turns they don’t want.”
