Longtime prosecutor Teresa Murray Smith has announced that she is running for Elizabethton municipal judge. Smith was in private practice but is best known for her time as an assistant district attorney general in the First and Second Judicial Districts, the Johnson City Press reports. Smith is the only person on the ballot for the Aug. 6 Republican primary. Jason Holly was appointed as the city judge by the Elizabethton City Council in February, following the death of Judge T.J. Little, but he is not on the primary ballot. He is mounting a write-in campaign for the nomination to run in the November election.
