The state is heavily Republican-leaning and is not likely to receive much attention from Biden’s campaign in the general election.

For Tullahoma School Board three candidates were selected, Kim Uselton 1,771 votes, J. Patrick Welsh 1,695, and Broc Compton with 1,121. The other candidate, Fanchyon Miller, received 856.
