Nashville attorney Joanne Sowell has decided not to run as a Democrat for U.S. Senate next year, the Nashville Post reports. Sowell had established a campaign in April and raised nearly $130,000 from individual donors. She filed a campaign termination report today and has returned a large portion of donations. Sowell’s departure from the race leaves state Rep. Gloria Johnson, D-Knoxville, as the only possible candidate who has expressed interest. She told the paper in May that she is “definitely considering a run.”
