Greer chose to retire rather than face a sure-to-be-grueling contest against the popular County Commissioner Curtis.
The first and only Republican to qualify to face Curtis was a used car salesman from Rogersville, Packey Grisham. However, months after qualifying ended, Grisham dropped out of the race leaving only Curtis to seek the state House seat. Within weeks, the county Grand Old Party nominated Mary Pettus, also of Greenhill, to face Curtis in the general election.
Pettus was the Democratic nominee for the House seat in 2002.
She was defeated by Republican Lynn Greer. In the 2006 race, Curtis easily defeated Pettus and is currently serving as the State Representative for Lauderdale County District 2.
