State Sen. Jim Tracy, R- Shelbyville, says he is weighing another challenge to U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais in the Fourth Congressional District’s Republican primary next year, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reports. Tracy lost by just 38 votes to incumbent DesJarlais in 2014. Also said to be weighing a primary challenge is Grant Starrett, a 27-year-old Nashville-area attorney who worked in Republican Mitt Romney’s two presidential campaigns. Starrett also led a group that tried unsuccessfully to oust three Democratic justices on the Tennessee Supreme Court last August.
