Tennessee Republican Sen. Rusty Crowe is facing his first challenger in 22 years, Tennessee Lookout reports. The challenge comes from fellow Johnson City resident Kate Craig. Democrats have long sought to find a candidate to run against Crowe for the District 3 seat. In the August primary both candidates ran unopposed. Craig says she would like to see the state’s abortion trigger law pulled back, public schools fully funded and creation of a state hospital oversight board. The publication reports that Crowe declined to be interviewed for the story.
