Weatherspoon kicks off campaign; sheriff candidates rev up; McGowen on xAI, and Cohen’s ‘looking good’
David Weatherspoon opened his November challenge of Republican state Senator Brent Taylor Thursday, April 9, in Germantown before a group of 50 supporters.

Sheriff’s candidates largely agreed the jail is in need of a complete overhaul and offered ideas to fix it, including overhauling management, increasing staffing and reforming medical care for inmates.
