Somehow, when Victoria Jackson (RWNJ deluxe of SNL fame) moved here to Tennessee, ostensibly to be near one of her daughters that goes to Trevecca Nazarene University, I figured she might want to test her waters in the political game in a wingnut-friendly arena sooner or later. Looks like it’ll be sooner, rather than later:

Tennessean: Former SNL star Victoria Jackson may run for Williamson County Commission

For those who don’t know Tennessee politics and geography, Williamson County (which includes the cities of Brentwood and Franklin, as well as Nissan North America’s HQ, among other things; it’s directly south of Nashville/Davidson County), it’s one of the richest counties in the US and one of the most lily-white and “conservative” in the Nashville MSA:

As of the census[11] of 2010, there were 183,182 people. In 2000 there were 44,725 households, and 35,780 families residing in the county. The population density was 217 per square mile (84 /km2). There were 47,005 housing units at an average density of 81 per square mile (31 /km2). The racial makeup of the county was 91.55% White, 5.18% Black or African American, 0.20% Native American, 1.25% Asian, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 0.97% from other races, and 0.82% from two or more races. 2.52% of the population were Hispanics or Latinos of any race.
There were 44,725 households in 2000 out of which 43.00% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 69.80% were married couples living together, 7.80% had a female householder with no husband present, and 20.00% were non-families. 16.60% of all households were made up of individuals and 4.50% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

About 3.50% of families and 4.70% of the population were below the poverty line, including 5.40% of those under age 18 and 8.90% of those age 65 or over.
Williamson County is ranked among the wealthiest counties in the country. In 2006 it was the 17th wealthiest county in the country according to the U.S. Census Bureau, but the Council for Community and Economic Research ranked Williamson County as America’s wealthiest county (1st) when the local cost of living was factored into the equation with median household income.[13] In 2010, Williamson County is listed 17th on the Forbes list of the 25 wealthiest counties in America.[14]
By 2006 Williamson County had a population of 160,781 representing 27.0% population growth since 2000. The census bureau lists Williamson as one of the 100 fastest growing counties in the United States for the period 2000-2005.[15]
Most Williamson county residents are registered Republicans. In the 2004 presidential election, Williamson County voted 72 percent in favor of George W. Bush, 27 percent in favor of Senator John Kerry, and 1 percent in favor of Ralph Nader. In 2008, John McCain took the county with 69% to Barack Obama’s 30%.[16]
