I continue to enjoy travelling around Davidson County meeting with neighbors and engaging in events as part of my campaign for Council At Large. I have two exciting campaign events coming up and would love to see you there!

Dear Friends,
Over the last couple of years, we have been thoughtfully putting together a plan for the East Bank. The Titan’s stadium is the anchor development of the East Bank that needed its own careful consideration as we’ve deferred required maintenance of it for many years and we’d have to start pulling debt to meet our obligations. There is an extraordinary opportunity here to plan for development that benefits all Nashville-Davidson County. This will be an area that will take a decade or more to build out. Going into this two years ago, I had two fundamental questions to weigh the stadium decision of whether to renovate or build new, as well as how East Bank development should proceed. 1) What is the best scenario for Nashville-Davidson County taxpayers, and 2) Is this development that will benefit every resident of Davidson County?

Dear Friends,
I share our community’s heartbreak and anger about the mass shooting and murder of three children and three adults at The Covenant School. I am very thankful for the heroism of all our Metro Nashville Police Department Officers, and in particular Rex Englebert and Michael Collazo, who raced into danger and put a stop to it before others were killed. We honor the victims and hold them and their families close in our hearts.

| I would love to see you on February 28th at Hermitage Steak House at 5:30 PM for my Donelson-Hermitage-Old Hickory fundraiser supporting my candidacy for At-Large. It’s not too late to purchase a ticket or add your name to the host committee. As you may know, there’s so much up in the air surrounding the legislature and its relationship with Nashville right now. Regardless if the effort to shrink Council passes or not, we will need an At-Large representative that’s dedicated to improving and modernizing the functionality of our city. I’ve already been working on the issues that are necessary to improve the accessibility, transparency, and support of legislative functions in order to maintain an efficient and effective Metro Government. Most recently, I worked to secure funding as part of this project to improve the second floor of the Metro Historic Courthouse, which is necessary to improve the functionality of the Council, the Clerk, and the public’s ability to engage with Councilmembers. Staffing issues, technology needs, constituent support services, and implementing onboarding and training support for Councilmembers will continue to be a top priority for me as an At-Large member. I hope you will stand with me as I continue my endeavors to build a city and local government which uplifts and supports every individual who calls Nashville their home. Thank you, Jeff |

Finally, as you’ve no doubt heard and seen, I have decided to run for Metro Council At Large in the August 2023 election. I want to take my laser focus and passion for Donelson and apply it to the whole county. It’s been a humbling opportunity to lead Donelson through balanced growth and development as all of Middle Tennessee continues to grow at a rapid pace. As “Downtown Donelson” comes to life through our new Donelson Branch Library and a revitalized Donelson Station to ensuring historic protections, single-family neighborhoods and rural areas in the county are supported and preserved, we can find a way to channel our success as a city into the support our neighborhoods need across all of Davidson County. We need to push harder on creating the intersections between transit and affordable housing as well as our efforts to ensure our growth also means sustainable and resilient communities that grow with thoughtful intention.
