We are so proud of our Dickinson and CHS Classmate. She was such a deserving candidate. Linda Rogers Chambers
The Election Commission on Tuesday night voted unanimously to name Charlotte Mullis-Morgan as the new administrator.
Ms. Mullis-Morgan was the chief deputy for seven years to former administrator Bud Knowles, who died in early April. She has been with the office for 28 years.
Mr. Knowles was paid $92,296.
Election Commissioner J.B. Bennett said there were three other applicants - David Cooper of Missionary Ridge, Joseph Kochis of Ooltewah, and Hugh Reece, an official of Juvenile Court.
Chris Clem, attorney for the Election Commission, said the office had been running smoothly under Ms. Mullis-Morgan.
He said state officials strongly encourage all election administrators to take a test to become certified. The state will then pay $16,000 of the salary.
Mike Walden, commission chairman, said it would be imperative to have the administrator to be certified.
Officials said Fran Dzik was the only local election administrator who attained the certification.
