With less than one week left before the deadline to file for the upcoming Crossville city election, additional candidates have begun to show an interest in the race.
One potential new candidate has taken out papers and one former councilman has qualified to have their name on the ballot. As of mid-day August 10 only incumbent mayor James Mayberry has taken out and returned papers to run for mayor and now there are three qualified candidates for the two council seats that will be on the ballot November 6, 2018.
In addition to Art Gernt and Rob Harrison, who both qualified the first day they were eligible, now former councilman Jesse Kerley has qualified to have his name on the ballot.
In addition, Virgil Thompson has taken out a petition to run for council but has not yet turned it in. Thompson, a local native is the son of Jim and Linda Thompson of Crossville. One additional person who took out papers, Glenn McDonald, said he has decided not to run and does not plan to return a petition to get his name on the ballot.
