The political rivalry between state Rep. Darren Jernigan, D-Old Hickory, and former state Rep. Jim Gotto will go another round this year after Gotto submitted paperwork to challenge Jernigan. It will be the third time Gotto, a Republican, has faced off against Jernigan, losing to him in 2012 and 2014.
