In the race for Tennessee House District 18, voters face a choice between incumbent Rep. Elaine Davis, a Republican, and Democratic challenger Bryan Goldberg. The candidates are sharpening their platforms, with issues like crime, education, and economic development at the forefront of the debate, although they offer contrasting visions for the district’s future.
While Davis continues to center her platform around issues such as crime and public safety, newcomer Goldberg is committed to health care reform and is a staunch advocate of public education.
Davis has led in fundraising, with her most recent financial disclosures showing she raised $74,341 in the third quarter. She heads into the general election with $110,651 cash on hand, including $11,167 in personal loans she contributed to her campaign.
