UPPER CUMBERLAND – Fourteen counties. Dozens of races. More than 500 candidates. The Upper Cumberland will certainly be a hotbed of political activity this year, and, it seems, most every race will be contested. While more will surely enter the fold between now and the petition deadline day, we’ve tried to hit the highlights – and must watches – with this list.
