"Finbarr Saunders has been actively involved in West Knoxville, Bearden and Westwood community groups and homeowner organizations for many years and those experiences will help him with constituent service... He plans to work for better coordination between neighborhoods and developers. We also like his approach to make county government more accessible to ordinary citizens."
"Our only criteria was to support candidates we were convinced would work to improve the quality and effectiveness of local government."
Frank Cagle of The Metro Pulse says. . .
"Saunders, who has a lot of Republican friends, would be a strong general election candidate against the Republican nominee."
