The board of commissioners leads the county government—passing legislation and administering services and programs. Commissioners approve budgets, hire staff, and set policy.
I consider the main responsibility of a county commissioner is to listen to the people of their community. The commissioner is the representative of the voter.
I-Eddie Arnold a lifelong residence of my Zone 6 - 22 years retired veteran - Air Force 14 years, 9 years Army Aviation. I would love to serve Zone 6 with all my abilities invested for the residence of Zone 6.
I want to see the infrastructure keep up with the rapid growth in the county. The codes department needs to be better at addressing the need of the problems that the people of Rutherford County are facing. Examples: The Engineering & Codes Department take too much time helping business customers getting site plans completed in a timely manner. This department needs to have a sign-off sheet with a record of projects such as a milestone chart from start to completion. An elected official county commissioner should be able to ask the Engineering and codes department for an activity report for approved or not approved outstanding site plans.
All requests for permits should have a check sheet sign off for compliance by all parties concerned. Such as, electrical, water, sewage, fire department, security along with the Dept of Transportation known as TDOT. The needs for better communication from the Engineering and Codes Department. This Department needs to give good working instructions for permit applications to start a business plan. Also this department needs to give good working instructions for permit applications to start a business plan. Also, this department needs to avoid verbal work orders by having up-to-date written work instructions. Any County Commissioner should have the authority to question any/all work instructions subject to their county zone.

A County Commissioner's main responsibility is to represent their ENTIRE District and the ENTIRE county's interests and well being. Secondly, a Commissioner has to put in the effort and work to make the best decisions for the entire constituency. Lives are affected by every decision made and can't be taken lightly
As a 5TH Generation resident of Rutherford County District 6, I truly understand our communities and will represent ALL people. The marginalized members of our county deserve representation, respect, and service. They will be represented when I am elected.
Affordability, rather unaffordability of the area must be addressed and services put in place to help our citizens. Rutherford County natives, young adults, and our service workers are being forced out of the county or becoming unhoused with very few options for aid. The responsibility of helping should not rely primarily on non-profits.
Plans, policies and budgets have to be truly studied and implemented with the best interest of the entire community. Educated decisions have to be made. I have no "personal interests" that will benefit from my work as a Commissioner. I will work for the people.
The constituents have to be involved and when elected I will reach out to get opinions and make sure I know what is truly going on in the county. I will listen.
Budgeting, funding and purchasing patterns have to be reworked to provide affordable housing and aid programs. Money is wasted in plenty of ways that could be redirected, in addition to using surplus funding. Helped people help people.
