Jacobs has resided in Knox County since 1995 and will be running as a Republican.
During an interview back in February with Knoxville’s WBIR news, Jacobs said, “Being someone who hasn’t been in local government before, we’re a new set of eyes on the new problems and challenges that we’ll have going forward. I think that we’re really in a transitional period as a county.”
