The Trial Court Vacancy Commission has notified Gov. Bill Lee that only two candidates have applied for a chancellor vacancy in the 19th Judicial District, which includes Montgomery and Robertson counties. Under state law, if the commission is unable to provide the governor with the names of three persons qualified to fill the vacancy, then the governor may fill the vacancy with any person who is qualified to serve. The commission reports that it did send the two applications it received to the governor. Read the letter and more about the applicants, Christina M. Bartee and Tracy P. Knight, on the Administrative Office of the Court's website.
