Today we previewed the Democratic primary for the District 3, Position 1 county commission seat, between incumbent James Harvey and longtime Memphis City Schools principal James Catchings. Harvey has made it well known that he's interested in one day running for city mayor, but Catchings is saying it won't matter because he plans to defeat Harvey in this race. Harvey also said he believes that Memphis Mayor A C Wharton and his allies are supporting Catchings.
Over the summer, Harvey got some attention for meeting with Wharton before announcing he would not run for Memphis mayor. He's clearly got his hands full with Catchings, who barely lost a 2007 City Council race against Edmund Ford Jr.
