R primary

Sheri Super is a Republican candidate running for Knox County Commission District 3 in Tennessee, seeking to replace incumbent Gina Oster [6]. She launched her campaign in July 2025 and describes herself as an "unapologetically conservative" advocate for fiscal conservatism and limited government [6]. Super has been a resident of Knoxville for more than three decades, having relocated there in the late 1980s [6]. She is a mother of eight children, all of whom attended Knox County public schools, and identifies as a Christian conservative focused on family values and parental rights [6].

Prior to her candidacy, Super served as the chair of the Knox County chapter of Moms for Liberty before becoming its vice chair [6]. In this role, she worked to empower parents regarding school issues, citing the pandemic-era school closures and mask mandates as catalysts for the parental rights movement [7]. Her activism includes a high-profile dispute in 2017 concerning coaching practices at Hardin Valley Academy; while this resulted in a defamation lawsuit that was ultimately dismissed, Super states it underscored her commitment to protecting children [6].

Super’s platform emphasizes opposing "reckless high-density development" in West Knox neighborhoods such as Amherst, Ball Camp, and Cedar Bluff, arguing that such growth threatens property values and quality of life [6]. She has pledged to prioritize safe roads, enhanced public safety, strong schools free from ideological overreach, and low taxes [6]. Additionally, she asserts a commitment to putting American citizens first and opposing funding for illegal immigrants or what she terms the "radical LGBTQ agenda" with taxpayer dollars [6]. Super is also identified as a supporter of former President Donald Trump [6].

The Republican primary for Knox County Commission District 3 is scheduled for May 5, 2026 [12]. Other candidates in this primary include Brandon Huckaby and incumbent Gina Oster [12].
