John Gillespie of Shelby County will run in the Republican primary for the House District 97 seat being vacated by Rep. Jim Coley, the Daily Memphian reports. He will face Brandon Weise. A native of Memphis, Gillespie works as a grant coordinator for Trezevant Episcopal Home and recently received Coley's endorsement. Democrats also likely will have a contested primary with Allan Creasy and Gabby Salinas announcing for the seat.
