Contents
Background
The Maury County Republican Party went into the 2018 elections divided. Charlie Norman had been elected as county mayor as a Republican in 2014 (narrowly winning the nomination over Maury County GOP chairman Scott Cepicky, and Sonny Shackelford had served as a Republican county commissioner from District 9 (south Columbia and Bigbyville). Rather than holding a primary, the Republicans held a party convention on March 17. Rep. Sheila Butt nominated conservative activist Andy Ogles, who had planned to challenge U.S. Senator Bob Corker before Corker's resignation. Norman and Shackelford did not seek their party's nomination so that they could run as Independents instead. Sheriff Bucky Rowland and County Clerk Joey Allen also declined to seek the Republican Party ballot line.[1]
