Meet Mary Smith

Mary Smith - Tested.Proven. Ready on Day One.

As a current County Commissioner with decades of private-sector leadership experience, Mary brings the judgment, discipline, and real-world experience to lead from the start — not learn on the job.

She is running for County Mayor to put people first, protect taxpayers, guide responsible growth, and preserve what makes Williamson County special.

Current County Commissioner Small Business Owner Corporate Leadership
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.

Priorities

Mary’s priorities for Williamson County.

These priorities reflect the values that brought many of us to Williamson County — responsible leadership, thoughtful growth, and a commitment to the people who call this place home.

Fiscal Stewardship

Keep the Charm without Selling the Farm

Protect Williamson County’s character through smart financial decisions, disciplined debt management, and long-term stewardship that respects taxpayers.

Let’s shape growth — together.

I do not want the title. I want the responsibility — to listen, bring people together, and present smart, data-driven plans that protect both our quality of life and your wallet.

It serves. It protects. It stands in the gap for those who need a voice.May we not only believe what is right, but have the courage to do what is right. ❤️#FaithInAction #SeekJustice #actjustly #lovemercy #walkhumbly ...

Today in downtown Franklin, I had the honor of attending our Memorial Day service and joining a grateful community in remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸Memorial Day is more than a tradition, it is a solemn reminder that freedom is never free.Today, we honored heroes like Private First Class Richard Lee Carothers of Williamson County, who gave his life in Vietnam on December 17, 1966, and stood alongside a remarkable 105-year-old World War II veteran whose life reflects the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of the Greatest Generation. We remember not only their service, but the lives they gave so future generations could live in freedom. As we gathered together, I was reminded that remembrance matters. We owe it to those who gave everything to speak their names, tell their stories, and ensure future generations understand the cost of liberty.Today, we remember. We honor. We give thanks. ❤️🤍💙#MemorialDay #FreedomIsNotFree #goldstarfamilies #williamsoncounty #franklintn ... See MoreSee Less

This is something every county should be proactively reviewing.After reviewing the Marshall County zoning resolution, it appears that DATA CENTERS could potentially be allowed under our C2 zoning because the ordinance currently lists “computer and data processing services” as a permitted use.⚠️ That language needs to be changed IMMEDIATELY.When this provision was originally written, it was likely intended for:• Small office businesses• Basic computer services• Normal commercial operationsIt was NOT intended for:• Industrial-scale data centers• AI server facilities• Server farms• Cloud storage operations❗️Major Concerns:• C2 zoning was NEVER intended for heavy industrial uses like this.• Data centers could be placed near:-Homes-Small businesses-Community areas-Existing neighborhoods• Marshall County’s current infrastructure will NOT be able to sustain these operations.• These facilities consume ENORMOUS amounts of water for cooling systems, putting additional strain on local water resources relied upon by:-Residents-Farmers-Local businesses• They also require massive electrical infrastructure, including:New substationsTransmission upgradesBackup power systems➡️ This could increase electrical costs for the entire community.• Despite their size, data centers typically create VERY FEW long-term jobs compared to other industrial developments.What Needs to Happen:✅ The zoning resolution should clearly state that:• Data centers• Server farms• AI processing facilities• Cloud storage facilitiesare PROHIBITED in C2 zoning districts.✅ If the county CHOOSES to allow data centers, they should ONLY be permitted in “M” Industrial Zoning Districts where impacts can be properly managed.✅ Marshall County also needs a clear legal definition of “Data Center” to distinguish ordinary office computer services from industrial computing facilities.⭐️Final Recommendation:Marshall County should impose at least a TWO-YEAR MORATORIUM, or a complete ban, on data centers until proper infrastructure and regulations are fully in place. Every day, it seems we are learning more about the impacts these operations can have on communities, infrastructure, water resources, and energy systems, and there are still many unknowns that need to be fully understood before moving forward.Jeff Moore 🇺🇸 Candidate for Marshall County District 6 ...
