IN THE NEWS: Gibbons' campaign trail leads to local coffee club
Gibbons' campaign trail leads to local coffee club
Gubernatorial candidate emphasizes schools, crime and jobs
by Michael Ward, The Collierville Independent
Shelby County District Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Bill Gibbons met with the Collierville Coffee Club at Super D Drug Store Feb. 3 to discuss his goals and the Nov. 2 election.
Joined by his Shelby County campaign coordinator, former Shelby County Mayor Jim Rout, Gibbons noted his need for support in his home base of West Tennessee to roughly 15 people in attendance at the club, which has met for coffee since 1956.
"Our strategy here is simple," he said, adding he wants a landslide victory in his home base of West Tennessee. Shelby County, he said, carries 20 percent of the primary vote with West Tennessee accounting for 25 percent of the total primary vote.

Like many basketball fans, Bill Gibbons is eager about the start of March Madness! And the inter-office rivalries are ever so present at the Gibbons headquarters. For example, will the Vanderbilt Commodores (where Bill, his wife and son attended) make a deep run in the tournament? Will the Kentucky Wildcats (where Communications Director Bonny Kinney attended) have what it takes to win it all? Will Bruce Pearl's Volunteers (where Political Director Adam Nickas attended) have more upsets in store? Will the Memphis Tigers (where Campaign Manager Josh Thomas attended) even make the cut? And could ETSU be this year's Cinderella team?
All of these questions will soon be answered, but the more important question is, "Can you bust Bill's bracket?"
