Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation Board of Directors
On August 23 and 24, 2019, UCEMC members went to the polls at the four UCEMC district offices to vote for directors seeking re-election for their seats in districts one, three, and four.
In District 1, consisting of Smith, DeKalb, Wilson and Macon counties, incumbent Board Member C.D. (Digger) Poindexter was the only candidate running opposed in the election. Poindexter defeated Smith County realtor Robin Underwood for that District 1 post.
