The head of the county GOP out in Carter County is still trying to get his head around the election of Kent Williams as Speaker of the House:

The chairman of the Carter County Republican Party, Keith Bowers, was more reserved, knowing that Williams was elected by Democrats against the will of the Republican majority in the House.

“We are happy for Carter County that one of our own has been elected to this high position, anything to help Carter County to grow and to receive help in Nashville is welcome,” Bowers said, “but I don’t want to make an official comment on what happened today until I have had time to study this.”
