Attorney Kisha Cheeks and General Sessions Court Judge Alex McVeagh, who are seeking to replace retired Circuit Court Judge Marie Williams, have qualified to run in their respective primaries, Chattanoogan.com reports. Cheeks qualified to run in the Democratic primary while McVeagh qualified to run in the Republican primary. Cheeks, principal attorney at the Cheeks Rucker Firm, says she will focus her campaign on ensuring courts continue to remain accessible and provide justice for all residents. McVeagh, who touts his qualifications as a business litigator and sitting judge, will face attorney Michele Coffman in the primary. Coffman qualified earlier this month. She says her campaign is driven by her Christian conservative values and over 24 years of experience as an attorney. The primary will be March 5 with early voting running from Feb. 14-27. The general election will be held in August.
