Meet Mary See the Priorities Watch Mary's Story

The Challenge

Williamson County is at a turning point.

Traffic is stealing time from families. Rising costs are squeezing household budgets. Growth is changing the character of our community. The question is not whether Williamson County will grow. The question is whether we lead that growth responsibly.

Traffic

Families need infrastructure planning that keeps roads moving and communities connected.

Rising Costs

Taxpayers deserve disciplined budgeting and long-term decisions that protect their wallets.

Community Character

Growth should strengthen Williamson County, not erase the charm and values people love.

Proven experience.Principled leadership.

For more than 20 years, Wade and I have called Williamson County home. Our family has lived here, worked here, worshiped here, and built our life here.

Before serving in county government, Mary spent decades in the private sector overseeing complex challenges, managing multi-million-dollar budgets, and leading high-performing teams.

Today, as a County Commissioner, she is already doing the work — bringing that same discipline, accountability, and people-first mindset to local government.

🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States.For nearly 250 years, our flag has stood as a symbol of liberty, unity, and the sacrifices made to preserve both. It has flown over battlefields, schools, courthouses, and homes reminding us that the freedoms we enjoy today were secured by generations who came before us.Today, let us honor not only the flag itself, but the principles and people it represents.God bless America. 🇺🇸#FlagDay #StarsAndStripes #oldglory #GodBlessAmerica ...

“Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.” — 3 John 1:11One of the greatest temptations we face is responding to wrong with wrong. When we are criticized, attacked, misrepresented, or treated unfairly, it can be tempting to answer in kind. It may bring a moment of satisfaction, but it does not reflect the heart of Christ.Scripture calls us to a higher standard. We are not called to mirror the behavior of those who choose division, hostility, or deceit. We are called to imitate what is good and to respond with truth, grace, integrity, and love.This is especially important for those entrusted with leadership. Elected officials should be examples of civility, humility, and service. When leaders choose to inflame conflict, sow discord, or encourage division for personal or political gain, they miss an opportunity to reflect God's goodness and to serve others with honor.The Kingdom of God is not advanced through outrage, retaliation, or short-term victories. It is revealed when ordinary people choose kindness over bitterness, truth over distortion, and faithfulness over expediency.May we be known not by how loudly we condemn others, but by how faithfully we reflect Christ in a world that desperately needs His light.#ActaNonVerba #ChooseGoodness #3John111 #KingdomLiving #FaithInAction #LeadWithIntegrity #ReflectHisLove ...

Patience is not weakness, it is trust.In a world that encourages instant reactions, quick judgments, and emotional decisions, God’s Word calls us to something different. When we act out of haste, vengeance, anger, fear, or frustration, we often move ahead of His direction. But when we wait on the Lord, we create space to hear His voice and allow His light to guide our path.Not every battle requires an immediate response. Not every opportunity requires an immediate decision. Sometimes the wisest thing we can do is pause, pray, listen, and trust that God’s timing is better than our own.When the path ahead seems uncertain, remember that He sees what we cannot. His way is always best, even when it requires patience.“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” — Psalms#Faith #Psalm2714 #TrustGod #GodsTiming #BeStill #Patience #WalkByFaith #ActaNonVerba #TruthStandsTall ...

Today I attended the groundbreaking ceremony for Williamson County’s new jail facility.While I may have preferred that we explore additional options before taking on more capital debt, I have always been committed to supporting public safety and ensuring our first responders and Sheriff's Office have the resources they need to serve our community effectively.As this project moves forward, it is important that we continue to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars while recognizing the vital role our law enforcement officers, corrections staff, and first responders play in keeping Williamson County safe.Thank you to everyone who helped make this project possible, and especially to those who put on the uniform each day in service to others. Your dedication and sacrifice do not go unnoticed.#WilliamsonCounty #PublicSafety #FiscalResponsibility #Stewardship #ActaNonVerba ... See MoreSee Less

Does every student really need access to their own device? This story is both scary and concerning.www.facebook.com/share/p/1CrAZ6Ae88/?mibextid=wwXIfrWARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. I share because this is a textbook case of grooming and well worth the long read especially for any parent. Scary stuff. THIS GUY HELD PARENTS AT GUNPOINT AND ATTEMPTED TO RAPE THEIR 12-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER. Now he’ll spend the next quarter century behind bars. The District Attorney in Sumner County, TN secured a 25-year-sentence for thirty-year-old Omar Malik Lundy. He was convicted by a Jury of attempted rape of a child, soliciting a minor to commit rape of a child, two counts of aggravated assault, and one count of assault. SO, WHAT HAPPENED? Prosecutors say Lundy initiated contact with a 12- year-old via YouTube by posting a flattering comment about her under a video she shared on the platform. After this initial interaction, Lundy and the victim began regularly communicating online and via text. During all of his communications with the victim, Lundy presented himself to the victim as a 15-year-old juvenile. As time passed, Lundy began sexually grooming the victim, solicited nude photos from her, and repeatedly pressured her to meet in person. The victim eventually relented and provided her home address to Lundy. Lundy traveled 4 ½ hours from Alabama to Sumner County and snuck into the victim's home in the middle of the night, without her parent's knowledge. Over the following day, Lundy hid in the victim's bedroom, slept in her closet, and, ultimately, got into bed with her. When the victim's mother came into the bedroom to check on her later that night, she discovered Lundy's feet hanging out from under her daughter's blanket. A confrontation involving the victim's family and Lundy then ensued during which Lundy produced a handgun from his waist band and threatened to “shoot" the victim's family members and then "shoot himself.” A male relative then knocked the gun out of Lundy's hand and the family subdued him until Sumner County Sheriff's Deputies arrived. During a subsequent search of Lundy's property, deputies discovered knives, electrical tape, numerous gun magazines, and body armor. Notably, in this case, the victim's parents made every effort to prevent her from accessing social media, severely restricted her access to a cellular phone, and regularly spoke with her about online safety. Even in the face of these parental restrictions, Lundy was able to maintain contact with the victim through YouTube, which the victim accessed using her school-issued tablet. This was a shocking case involving a 30-year-old man's prolonged efforts to sexually groom and rape a child through lies, manipulation, and technology. Even more disturbing is the fact that Lundy was able to gain the victim's trust by convincing her that he was 15 years old, which was half of his actual age. AWFUL. ... See MoreSee Less

“Test all things; hold fast what is good.”— 1 Thessalonians 5:21In a world filled with endless opinions, headlines, promises, and noise, Scripture reminds us not to accept everything at face value. We are called to be discerning and to examine what we hear, measure it against truth, and cling to what is good.Discernment is not cynicism. It is wisdom. It requires patience, humility, and a willingness to seek truth even when it is inconvenient.Before sharing, believing, or following, take time to test it. Truth can withstand scrutiny.May we be people who pursue wisdom, value integrity, and hold fast to what is good.#Faith #Truth #Discernment #Wisdom #Integrity #Scripture #1Thessalonians521 #ActaNonVerba #HoldFastToWhatIsGood ...
