Martin Ammons

Martin Ammons is a Republican candidate running for State Executive Committeeman District 6 in the Knox County, Tennessee Republican Party primary scheduled for August 6, 2026 [1]. This position is part of the local party structure that reorganizes every odd-numbered year [12].

Ammons is seeking the office of treasurer for the Knox County Republican Party. He is running against former Knox County Commissioner Mike Brown for this specific role [12]. The broader reorganization of the Knox County GOP includes races for chair and vice chair, with incumbent Buddy Burkhardt and Janis Crye seeking reelection to those positions, while former state Representative Martin Daniel is challenging for the chairmanship [12].

Voting in these party elections is restricted to "bona fide" Republicans. Under a rule adopted by the Tennessee Republican Party executive committee, this status is defined as having voted in three of the last four statewide GOP primaries [12]. Participants are required to register at least five days prior to the convention to avoid delays on election day [12].
