The Knox County Commission will set a plan in motion on Oct. 25 to appoint a successor to retiring Sessions Court Judge Geoffrey Emery, Georgia Vines writes in the Knoxnews reports. The individual selected will serve until a new judge is elected in 2022. Several candidates already have filed reports with the county election commission to start fundraising to run for the seat next year. They are former Knox County GOP chair and sitting magistrate Ray Jenkins; assistant district attorney Judd Davis; Republican Sharon Frankenberg; and assistant district attorney Sarah Keith.
