TRACY STEPP
Office history
Current office and 2026 campaign
Tracy Stepp is the incumbent Cocke County commissioner for District 3, Post 2, and is running for re-election as an independent candidate in the August 6, 2026 county general election 12. The Post 2 seat is a four-way race that also includes Democratic nominee Al Pier and independent candidates Casey Jones and Sid Mason 1.
Office history
Stepp represents District 3, Post 2 on the Cocke County Legislative Body 2. She first won the seat in a closely contested 2022 election: in the August 4, 2022 county general election, Stepp and incumbent Terry Dawson each received 420 votes, a tie that a single reviewed provisional ballot did not break because that voter had not cast a vote in the commission race 34. On August 15, 2022 the county commission opted to resolve the seat through a November 2022 special election, which Stepp ultimately won, as she now holds the seat 342.
