Jody Britt - Announcement of Candidacy – 2nd Term, 8th District County Commissioner
“I am announcing my candidacy for a second term as the 8th District County Commissioner.
My first term has been a welcomed learning experience, and I have worked hard to serve the people of the 8th District with openness, honesty, and integrity. I have made transparency a priority by keeping citizens informed and accessible to county government.
Each month, I send out emails that include agendas for both the County Commission meetings and the Board of Education meetings. I attend as many Board of Education meetings as possible, and afterward I send a follow-up email with a brief summary of what took place and how votes were cast. Included in the emails is a link to watch the meetings on their youtube channels. Emails and phone calls are returned as promptly as possible.
If you live in the 8th District and would like to receive these updates, please send me your name and email address. I do not share email addresses and send the emails out as blind copies so as not to allow your email address to be accessible.
This coming term, Dickson County will be electing a new Mayor. With three Commissioners currently in the Mayor’s race as well as others, we could see several new Commissioners alongside a new Mayor. Experience on the Commission will be important to help move county government forward.
For those who may not know me, I retired from the City of Dickson Fire Department after 33 years of service. I have founded and operated several businesses, including a commercial janitorial supply company, a first aid and safety supply company, and a chain of nurse’s uniform stores located in Dickson, Columbia, and Opry Mills Mall.
Over the years, I have also worked part-time with the Dickson County Ambulance Service, the Sheriff’s Department as a correctional officer, the EMA Fire Department, and as a substitute teacher. I hold a college degree in Fire Science and taught at Volunteer State Community College for approximately eight years.
My wife Shannon Britt and I have been married for 26 years. She taught 7th and 8th grade math at Dickson Middle School for over a decade.
I can be reached at 615-417-5362 or by email at [email protected].
Your support and your vote are sincerely appreciated.
Feel free to share this if you would like to do so.”
