Several Candidates Pull Papers for 2026 Bedford County Elections

A number of individuals have officially pulled qualifying papers for the upcoming May 5, 2026 Bedford County Primary and August 6, 2026 County General Election, though most have not yet completed the qualification process, according a list we received this morning from the Bedford County Election Commission.

The list includes candidates seeking a range of countywide, district, and school board offices.

For County Mayor, papers have been pulled by Charles Dabelgott, Ally Puckett, James Sloan, Matthew Bennett, Adam Vanderkin, Misty Pellar, and Troy Thompson.

In other countywide races, Donna Thomas has pulled papers for County Clerk, Michelle Murray for Circuit Court Clerk, Nikia Elliott and John Sweeney for Sheriff, Tonya Davis for Trustee, and Charles Dabelgott and Johnny Reed for Register of Deeds.

Multiple candidates have also pulled papers for County Commission seats across Districts 1 through 9. Those include Jared Featherstone and Mark McBryant (District 1); Roy Turner, William Gregory Jr., Bob Davis, and Ben Chapman (District 2); Jason P. Sanders, Troy Thompson, Alex Mitchell, and Jeromy L. Henderson (District 3); Brady Turner, Anita Murray Epperson, Matthew Gragg, and Diane Neeley (District 4); Brian Bruce, Bo Gill, Chuck Heflin, and Linda Yockey (District 5); Bill Anderson and Adam Thomas (District 6); Keith Davis and Sylvia Pinson (District 7); John Boutwell and Jason Boyette (District 8); and James Sloan, P.T. “Biff” Farrar, and Mark Thomas (District 9).

For the Bedford County School Board, Dan Reed has pulled papers for District 3, and Barton Williams for District 7.

Pulling papers is only the first step in the candidacy process. Candidates must still meet all qualifying requirements by the qualifying deadline of February 19 at Noon in order to appear on the ballot.

Honoring 49 Years of Service — Chief Jan Phillips

Today, the Shelbyville Police Department proudly honors Chief Jan Phillips for an incredible 49 years of service to the City of Shelbyville and the citizens we serve.

Chief Phillips is a Shelbyville native whose career in public service began with the Bedford County Ambulance Service before joining the Shelbyville Police Department as a dispatcher in January of 1977. Just months later, he transitioned to patrol and graduated from the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy in October of 1977. In May of 1979, he began a long and distinguished leadership journey, promoting through the ranks as Shift Sergeant, Shift Captain in 1991, Major of Patrol, and ultimately being appointed Chief of Police in 2014, bringing with him more than three decades of leadership experience.

Chief Phillips has always said:

“I am honored to represent the hardworking and professional men and women of the Shelbyville Police Department. Their commitment to our community is nothing short of amazing, and for that I am forever grateful… We also recognize that without the support of our community, we cannot be successful in our endeavors.”

Those words reflect the heart of his leadership, always prioritizing the well-being of his officers and the citizens of Shelbyville.

Beyond his remarkable career and accomplishments, Chief Phillips is simply one of the greatest men we could ever hope to work for. His integrity, dedication, and genuine care for this department and this community have left an impact that will be felt for generations.

Chief, thank you for 49 years of service, leadership, and commitment to Shelbyville. Your legacy is one of honor, respect, and true public service.

Please join us in congratulating and thanking Chief Jan Phillips for nearly five decades of service to our community!

4:30 PM UPDATE: See second image for reply to the Letter of Intent by the Receiver. His response is self-explanatory.

Proposed Buyer Floats Uncle Nearest Deal, But Full Farm Credit Payoff Remains Unclear

A newly filed Letter of Intent in the Uncle Nearest receivership outlines a possible transaction to address the distillery’s roughly $108 million debt to Farm Credit Mid-America, but the document does not guarantee the lender will be paid in full.

The filing, submitted to U.S. District Judge Charles E. Atchley Jr., comes from NexGen2780, LP, an acquisition vehicle formed by an investor group expressing interest in a court-supervised transaction involving Uncle Nearest. Rather than requiring a cash payoff at closing, the letter states that the $108 million would be “recognized” as the borrower’s outstanding obligation and administered by NexGen2780 for multiple purposes, including repayment, working capital, restructuring, and court and receiver fees.

The proposal does not state that Farm Credit would be paid first, nor does it address accrued interest, default interest, or legal fees that typically accumulate during a prolonged receivership. In addition, the document allows for purchase price adjustments tied to working capital, receivables, and inventory, which could further reduce the amount ultimately available to creditors after additional review.

NexGen2780 is not yet capitalized, according to the filing, and no proof of funds or investor commitments are included. The Letter of Intent is also explicitly non-binding, meaning neither the buyer nor Uncle Nearest is obligated to complete the transaction unless a separate, court-approved agreement is reached.

The filing further states that NexGen2780 could be owned by Uncle Nearest along with new investors and contemplates a structured exit or retained interest for existing equity holders, funded from transaction proceeds. While the letter references completing equity exits within 90 days of closing, it sets no firm deadline for when Farm Credit would be fully paid or whether repayment would occur in a single lump sum or over time.

The filing signals investor interest and urges a quicker sale process, but it does not ensure that Farm Credit Mid-America will be made whole. Any guarantee of full repayment, including interest and fees, would need to be clearly spelled out in a separate definitive agreement approved by the court.
