Early voting numbers are in for Bradley County — and they tell an important story.

Out of over 74,000 active voters, only 5,790 people showed up to vote early. That’s just 7.81% turnout.

That should get everyone’s attention.

Local elections matter. These are the decisions that impact our schools, roads, taxes, and the future of our community. Who we put in office isn’t about popularity — it’s about capability.

We need leaders who understand:
• How to balance a budget
• How to work with other leaders
• How to make smart financial decisions for our county.

This isn’t a popularity contest — it’s about putting the right people in positions to govern effectively.

If you haven’t voted yet, make a plan for Election Day: May 5th (8 AM – 8 PM).

Be informed. Be involved. Bradley County deserves it.

Happy International Women’s Day! 🌷

Today is a day to recognize the incredible women who help build stronger families, stronger businesses, and stronger communities.

From the quiet acts of kindness to the bold steps of leadership, women continue to make an impact every day.

I’m grateful to be surrounded by so many hardworking, inspiring women in our community.

Let’s continue encouraging, supporting, and lifting each other up.
