Update: Will Pinkston has responded to Holly McCall’s accusations by tweeting that McCall “is a known sleeze and unfit to serve in public office.”

Many Tennesseans do not believe that, though. In her legislative race, McCall recently raised $54,000 in one of the most conservative districts in the state.

Who is funding her campaign? The top democratic leaders in the state:

Franklin Mayor Lillian Stewart ($200) and former Nashville Mayor Karl Dean ($500); state Rep. John Ray Clemmons ($250) and state Sens. Lee Harris ($150) and Sara Kyle ($150); Nashville Metro Council members Bob Mendes ($350) and John Cooper, and his wife Laura ($1,500 each, for both the primary and general, for a total of $6,000); attorneys Charles Bone ($1,000), James Yokley ($1,500), Bob Tuke ($250), Leigh Walton ($250), Aubrey Harwell ($250), David Garrison ($250) and Chase Cole ($250).

Others backing McCall include Planned Parenthood’s Jeff Teague ($250), and local business leaders Wayne Smith of Community Health Systems ($1,000; CHS also donated $1,000), developer Bert Mathews ($250), former AT&T president Marty Dickens ($1,000), Christopher Hopkins of the developer-friendly Saint Consulting ($1,250) for which McCall has worked, Medalogix CEO Dan Hogan ($700) and Elizabeth Schatzlein, the wife of the former CEO of Saint Thomas Health ($1,500).

Looks like they don’t believe she is unfit for public office.

  1. Zack you neglected to include the fact that Holly worked for Jackson Miller’s campaign and was paid $1,200 for “communications consulting”. If that wasn’t enough to warrant her being taken off Pinkston’s Christmas card list she chose to retweet a bogus hit piece that the Tennessean did on Will where they quoted Alan Coverstone (who is involved in the Stand for Children Martha O’Bryan scandal) and Jason Egley who also works for Jackson Miller’s campaign. Of course the Tennessean neglected to mention either of those important facts in the hit piece.

  2. @ Chelle – even if true, doesn’t matter if Holly worked for Jackson’s campaign. Threats such as that are never acceptable. We should expect more of our elected officials.
