Davidson County Circuit Court Judge Kelvin Jones is challenging the residency of opponent Luvell Glanton, claiming the attorney doesn’t live in Davidson County, the Nashville Post reports. The challenge filed by Jones stems from a property that Glanton owns in Brentwood, where his mother lives. The longtime plaintiff’s attorney also owns properties in Davidson County. Glanton’s attorney John Spragens said his client is qualified to serve as a Circuit Court judge under the Tennessee Constitution.” The Davidson County Election Commission will hear the challenge during a special meeting tomorrow at 9 a.m. CST. Meanwhile, attorney David Ridings is attempting to get back on the ballot in the General Sessions Division VII race after being removed by the Davidson County Democratic Party for not being a bona fides Democrat. He has filed suit claiming that general sessions judges are municipal races and therefore should be nonpartisan.
