WASHINGTON -- A quick check with the Shelby County Election Commission this morning reveals that former Mayor Willie Herenton's campaign stop on Tuesday, at Exline's Pizza on Stage Road, is in the 7th Congressional District.
Herenton is running for the 9th Congressional District seat held by Steve Cohen. The Democratic primary is Aug. 5.
Trevenia Freeman at the election commission said the 6250 Stage Road address is not listed in voting records because it is a business, but both 6100 Stage Road and 6600 Stage Road are in Bartlett and in the 7th District.
U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., represents the 7th Congressional District and has no primary opponent. She'll face college professor and lawyer Greg Rabidoux in the general election in November. Blackburn's office also confirmed the Stage Road address is within her district.
