CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Faye Rennell Morales, formerly Faye Hobson, has announced her candidacy for City Council, Ward 8.
Morales, who previously ran for the council in 2020, was born and raised in West Monroe, Louisiana. She is married to retired Army veteran Franklin Morales. By way of the military, she joined her husband at Fort Campbell in 2002, and in 2005 they purchased a home in Bluegrass Downs, a subdivision in Ward 8. Through their paralegal business, her husband serves as a Spanish interpreter, and she said they provide free notary services to disabled residents of Ward 8. She has one daughter and two grandsons.
“We have witnessed the growth throughout the City of Clarksville, but one thing that has remained a constant is Ward 8 is a transitional ward. People move in and out year-round. Such transitions require a visual leader, a leader that puts the people in the ward before the city,” Morales said.
“Public service is what I do on a daily basis; it’s my calling to serve others. I was fortunate to have role models in my life that inspired me and taught me the importance of giving back to your community. The spirit of giving and the desire to make a difference is the driving force behind my decision to re-enter the race for City Council Ward 8. Defeat does not detour me, it motivates me.
“Even though I was not elected in 2020, such did not stop me from serving the people. When Ward 8 residents call on me, I answer the calls and assist in any way I can. I am very resourceful and if I can not assist, I will direct the people to someone that can. When the community sign in Bluegrass Downs was rotting, and the horses and letters were no longer visual, my husband and I purchased a new sign, night lights and bricks for a flower bed at no cost to the residents of Ward 8. Even though we reside in Bluegrass Downs, I will be a city councilwoman for all of Ward 8 residents.”
