Franklin trial attorney and former police officer David Veile won the Republican primary for the 21st Judicial District Circuit Court seat yesterday, defeating incumbent appointee Erin Nations. He will advance to the general election, but with no Democratic opponent currently on the ballot, he likely will be unopposed. Veile is a former TBA Board of Governors member and former president of the TBA Young Lawyers Division. Gov. Bill Lee had appointed Nations to the court following Judge Michael Binkley’s retirement in September 2023. Nations said she will support Veile’s transition into the role, according to the Williamson Herald.
