A joint caucus of state House and Senate Democrats, meeting in Nashville on Thursday, confirmed the appointment of Greg Duckett to succeed fellow Memphian Calvin Anderson, who is stepping down voluntarily, on the five-member state Election Commission. Duckett has been serving as chairman of the Shelby County Commission.
Early speculation features the name of interim state Senator Shea Flinn (whose name has been rumored for several other possibilities) as a possible successor to Duckett on the county body.
