A news release from the Burchett campaign today describes a "growing campaign momentum" for the State Senator.
Burchett was the only announced candidate seeking the Knox County Mayor's office next year until late Tuesday afternoon.
Former Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison filed an "Appointment of Treasurer" report with the Knox County Election Commission. He named C Dewitt Ingram as his treasurer. This allows Hutchison to begin raising money for the 2010 campaign.

After months of silence on the severance pay controversy, former Ragsdale Communications Director Susanne Dupes came out firing on Wednesday.
Dupes, along with former Library head Larry Frank and former Public Works director Bruce Wuethrich have been the targets of criticism - along with former Mayor Mike Ragsdale - since August, after reports surfaced that they were getting tens of thousands of dollars in severance pay for resigning days before Tim Burchett took office.
