Greeneville Pastor Casey Nicholson last week announced he will run for the Democratic nomination for governor. Nicholson previously ran for state representative in 2008 and served as chair of the Greene County Democratic Party. He indicated his primary issue will be current Gov. Bill Lee's leadership, which he describes as lacking during the COVID crisis. Nicholson joins Dr. Jason Martin, a pulmonary and critical care specialist in Nashville, who also made his run official last week, and Democrat Carnita Atwater of Memphis, according to the Nashville Post.
