Hamilton County Judge Alex McVeagh will now be the only candidate running in the Aug. 4 non-partisan general election for the Second Division of Hamilton County General Sessions Court. Chattanoogan.com reports that both of his former opponents have withdrawn from the race. They indicated they only entered the race because they believed McVeagh might be chosen to replace outgoing Criminal Court Judge Tom Greenholtz, who was appointed to the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals. McVeagh has indicated that he will continue to seek reelection to his current seat.
