Is Dandy Don Meredith still around to sing “Turn out the Lights, the Party’s Over” for the Elam for County Mayor campaign?

Is an election for county mayor even necessary now?

If there are only two candidates- Fox vs Beavers- it will be closer than you think. It will basically be east versus west. I doubt other Lebanon good ol’ boy candidate possibilities mentioned will jump in now. Since Elam really doesn’t have a base in the east or west- thirty percent isn’t exactly a vote of confidence for an incumbent mayor- her vote total might be embarassing if she ran.
