VIRGINIA COUCH LAUNCHES RUN FOR TENNESSEE HOUSE DISTRICT 18
Knoxville Attorney’s Campaign to Focus on ‘Opportunity’
Knoxville, Tennessee - March 11, 2020 - This week, Knoxville lawyer and small business owner Virginia Couch announced her intention to run for the Tennessee House of Representatives, seeking the District 18 seat.
“I believe success depends on opportunity,” Couch said. “And I will fight for all Tennesseans to have the opportunity to receive a quality public education, the opportunity to have access to quality, affordable healthcare, and the opportunity to improve their economic condition and achieve financial security.”
“Our governor and legislative majority in Nashville are actively working to block access to these opportunities for many Tennesseans,” Couch added. “I won’t sit back and watch any longer. I’m going to do something about it.”
Couch is an attorney with The Trust Company of Tennessee, and is also the founder and co-owner of Barkside Lodge, a dog boarding, daycare, swimming, and grooming center in Lenoir City. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Tennessee with a B.S. in Business Administration and from the University of Tennessee College of Law where she earned her law degree with a Business Transactions Concentration. Since 2009, she has also served as Adjunct Faculty for the University of Tennessee College of Law teaching contract drafting.
She said her law and small business background will suit her well as a State House Representative.
“As a business lawyer and a small business owner I have learned two important skills missing in many legislators: how to listen and how to work as part of a team.” Couch said. “I’m excited for the chance to bring my experience to the Capitol.”
Couch, a 32-year resident of Knoxville, currently lives in the Seven Springs community with her partner, Brian Blind.

See (link...) for a detailed explanation of the process.
We have processed 34,600 names on the White petition.
26,231 are valid thru stage 1.
This is a rejection rate of 24.19%.
We do not count signatures if the person is not registered, if the "genuine address" or the date is absent or if the citizen failed to print their name.
This represents over 71% of the needed signatures.
We have checked 6687 thru stage 2.
6637 were valid.

We have a two part process to verify the petitions.
First, using the Petition Eligibility System developed by the County Information Technology Department, we look up each signer. We verify that the person is registered and has put down the address we have in our files. We also look to make sure that the other components required by law are there: printed name, date, and the complete wording of the amendment(s) on the page.
We call this Stage 1.
In Stage 1 we have processed 25,010 names on the White petitions.
19,268 are valid.
The rejection rate is 22.95%.
We have completed Stage 1 for 52.55% of the number needed to put the white petition on the ballot.
In Stage 2 we check the signature on the petition against the signature on the voter registration card. If the worker thinks they are not the same signature we make a copy of each signature and put them in the "Disputed Signature" file.
This is a very slow process.
I do not have any exact numbers for Stage 2 but after two and a half full days there are less than a dozen names in the Disputed file.

We have processed 18,837 on the white petition.

That is 22.77% rejection rate.
This is 39.67% of the needed number.

I would like to see your predictions on voter turnout for the February election.
In '04 it was about 33,000. 23k Democrats, 10k GOP. Remember the Democratic race was all but over and W was unopposed for the Repubs. Locally we had a few hotly contested school board and commission races.
(link...)
The last Presidential was over 180,000 (Nov. 2004)
The Nov. 2006 Gubernatorial and Senate pulled over 110,000.
So what should I expect?
70,000 (30 demos, 40 GOP) ?
I’ve had people say as high as 150,000.
What do you think?
