CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – A.C. “Big Sarge” Lopez has announced his candidacy for mayor of Clarksville.
Lopez is a 100% combat disabled USMC/Army veteran who was medically retired from Fort Campbell in 2017. He served almost 22 years of active duty service with multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Lopez served as an Equal Opportunity adviser in the Army from 2009-2017.
Lopez said it is important that the ballot looks like the diversity of its people and he hopes to be an inspiration for future politicians in the underrepresented Latino, Filipino and Korean American community. Furthermore, he said, a candidate with conservative values is needed to represent the average people of Clarksville.
“I pledge to do everything I can do to improve our community including coming out of pocket as necessary (up to $100,000 of my first year’s mayoral paycheck). My campaign is about the people of Clarksville and improving their daily lives so they can safely and affordably spend more time with their families.”
