It is with great sadness, that we share the passing of our Anderson County Election Chairman, Joseph F. Rainey. Dr. Rainey was a man of a great integrity, the highest character, selflessness, and immense service to his family, community, profession, and the betterment of others. He served on many boards, professional organizations, civic groups, and served our Country in the Air Force, and later in the Air National Guard. He was a prominent Dentist in our area for many years and continued his craft by mentoring aspiring students at the University of Tennessee Dental School. He served the Anderson County Election Commision with distinction for 55 years, and his presence will be greatly missed.

Join us in celebrating the 88 years of the life of Dr. Joseph Rainey, September 8, 1935-December 11, 2023. A lifetime believer, we are comforted to know he is now with our Father in heaven. He is joining his parents, Horace and Mildred Rainey. Missing him, but never forgetting sweet

Good Morning All. Just a quick update on the State Election Commission front. Appointments went out this past Monday, and I would like to welcome our newly appointed County Election Officials to the TACEO family, and congratulate our reappointed Election Commissioners. Additionally, we have two new State Election Commissioners that will take their oaths later this month. Tom Wheeler and Greg Duckett shared their goodbyes at Monday's meeting, and we appreciate their 31 and 16 years of service respectively. We wish them both the very best, and look forward to working with Secondra Meadows from Chattanooga and Bennie Smith from Memphis in the future. I would like to also take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and blessed Easter holiday.
