CUMBERLAND ROAD SUPERINTENDENT VOWS TO REMAIN ON THE GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT
Cumberland County Road Superintendent Stanley Hall, the incumbent who was elected in 2022 as a Republican, has issued a public statement addressing recent concerns about his disqualification from appearing on the Republican primary ballot for his reelection bid in 2026.
He affirms that he remains fully qualified under Tennessee state law to serve in the office, having filed his intent to run in good faith, and highlights his long-standing Republican registration, 44 years as a registered voter, and his previous election victory with 4,236 votes in the Republican primary less than four years ago.
Hall explains that he was notified on Monday by the Tennessee Republican Party that a party guideline—requiring participation in both primary and general elections as a bona fide Republican candidate—prevents him from appearing on the Republican ballot, with reports indicating the specific issue was his failure to vote in three of the last four Republican primaries.
He was given the choice to run as an Independent or withdraw. Despite this, Hall reassures residents that he will still appear on the ballot and remains fully committed to serving another four years, continuing important unfinished work for the county.
He expresses deep gratitude for the support, encouragement, trust, and prayers from the community over the years.
