{"biography":"## Current office and 2026 campaign\nRandy Spencer is the Democratic nominee for Overton County Commissioner, District 3, on the August 6, 2026 county general ballot, where District 3 elects three commissioners [1][2]. Motivated by concerns over tax-rate increases and residents \"feeling unheard,\" he pledges to hold town-hall meetings, \"answer all phone calls and messages,\" and donate his commissioner pay to \"our district's needs, such as charities, food banks, schools, and such,\" and says he would limit himself to two terms, reasoning \"if 2 terms is good enough for the POTUS position then that is all that I would seek for a Commission seat\" [1].\n\n## Background and career\nSpencer has lived in Overton County for 28 years and, though not born in Tennessee, says he has \"no intention of living anywhere else\" [1]. He spent 26 years \"working away from home\" before retiring two years ago and states he has \"no further political motives other than giving the residents a voice\" [1].\n\n## Sources\n[1] [Randy Spencer seeks election as County Commissioner - Overton County News](https://www.overtoncountynews.com/news/local_state/randy-spencer-seeks-election-as-county-commissioner/article_3c9ac12c-75fa-4685-9b20-101b11bce511.html) - accessed 2026-07-23\n[2] [Overton County August 6, 2026 Sample Ballot (PDF)](https://overtonvotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/TNOVEPG6_SampleInfinityBallot.pdf) - accessed 2026-07-23","campaigns":[{"contest":"county_commission_district_3","county":"Overton","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"TN","title":"County Commission District 3"}],"cf_filings":[],"firstname":"RANDY","fullname":"RANDY SPENCER","lastname":"SPENCER","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"county_commission_district_3","contest_title":"County Commission District 3","county":"Overton","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-08-06","office_county":null,"office_key":"county_commission_district_3","office_title":null,"party":"D","pgr":"general","state":"TN"}],"county":null,"cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"county_commission_district_3","contest_title":"County Commission District 3","county":"Overton","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-08-06","office_county":null,"office_key":"county_commission_district_3","office_title":null,"party":"D","pgr":"general","state":"TN"},"party":"D","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2026}],"office_key":"county_commission_district_3","office_title":"County Commission District 3","state":"TN","terms":[]}],"summary":"Democratic nominee for Overton County Commissioner District 3; retired 28-year resident pledging town halls and to donate his commissioner pay to the district.","terms":[],"token":"m3xer3OTNk"}
