I do not see a path forward for Odessa Kelly in her run for Congress. She may however place her name on the ballot to enhance her name recognition in Davidson County. There is some speculation that she may challenge John Cooper for mayor, next time around and it is my understanding that she could legally use her campaign funds raised in her bid for Congress in a campaign for mayor. Here are highlights from her September financial report.
