Stephanie Williams yesterday won the Democratic primary for the Davidson County Circuit Court Division IV judge seat, which is responsible for divorces and adoptions. With no Republicans in the race, Williams effectively won the August general election as well, the Nashville Post reports. She defeated Tusca Alexis, Audrey Anderson and Stan Kweller, who had been appointed to the position in January 2023 by Gov. Bill Lee following the death of Judge Philip Smith. Kweller finished in fourth place with 9% of the vote. He will remain in the seat until the general election. In Robertson County, Ashleigh L. Travis won the Republican primary for Circuit Court judge Part VI. She was unopposed, the Tennessean reports.
