Paris attorney Vicki Hoover defeated Hardin County attorney Ben Harmon to win Thursday’s race for chancellor of the 24th Judicial District, the Paris Post-Intelligencer reports. Hoover pointed out that her election represents the first time a woman from Henry County will serve as chancellor and the first time in 52 years that the seat will be filled by someone from Henry County. Hoover said she is looking forward to getting to work, starting with cleaning up a backlog of cases that exists. Hoover will serve the remainder of an unexpired term vacated by Carma Dennis McGee, who was appointed to the Tennessee Court of Appeals in April 2019. McGee easily won her retention election.
