The Hamilton County Commission yesterday conducted public interviews of eight hopefuls for an appointment as a judge in General Sessions Court. It will make a decision at a meeting next Wednesday, according to Chattanoogan.com. The candidates are Kisha Cheeks, Tracy Cox, Andrew Coyle, Ron Powers, Sam Robinson III, Tori Smith, Pat Wagner and Jonathan Wilson. Whoever is selected to fill the vacancy created by the election of Judge Alex McVeagh to the Circuit Court will serve until the August 2026 general election. The winner of that election then will serve until 2030, which is when the McVeagh’s term would have expired.
