Dana R. Looper of Putnam County is seeking the Republican nomination for Circuit Court Judge – Part I for the Thirteenth Judicial District. This district includes Clay, Cumberland, DeKalb, Overton, Pickett, Putnam, and White Counties.

Once I graduated from Livingston Academy, I attended Walters State Police Academy and began my law enforcement career at the Overton/Pickett County E911 and the Overton County Sheriff’s Department. After working several years in that community, I advanced my career to the Algood Police Department where I progressed through the ranks to become a sergeant over patrol and represented my department as the public information officer. While working as a police officer, I completed my undergraduate degree at Tennessee Tech University, and continued my education going to the Nashville School of Law at night. I reside in Putnam County with my husband Mike Burnette, my stepson Connor, our two dogs and goats,” said Looper

“My law practice is located at Fry, Fry, Knight, & Looper where I have developed the background and temperament to serve as your judge. It would be an honor to serve as the next Circuit Court Judge for the Thirteenth Judicial District. I humbly ask for your support and vote in the coming election. I am very excited to meet as many of you as possible,” Looper continued.
