CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board member Aron Maberry has announced his candidacy for Tennessee State Representative, District 68.
A lifelong resident of Montgomery County, after observing the effects of COVID-19 on students and the “eye-opening decisions” being made at that time, Maberry ran for the School Board and became the first, and currently only, elected Republican on the School Board, he said.
Since being elected, he has been outspoken for conservative values, leading to better and safer school environments, Maberry said. He has advocated for parental rights in their children’s education and for opening up public participation in board meetings. Additionally, he was involved in the building, construction and opening of the new Kirkwood school complex and the Barksdale Elementary expansion; campaigned on and supported the 15% increase in teacher wages; has been a fierce supporter of girls’ sports; and has made a point to visit and tour every school in and many outside the district he represents.
Maberry grew up off Exit 11 in Sango. After graduating from Rossview High School in 2003, he attended Bible College in Columbus, Ohio, where he worked on the Bush campaign. Since graduating college in 2007, he has served as a pastor, since 2015 on the staff at Mosaic Church, helping the church grow from 250 to 2,600 weekly attendees, with more than 4,000 people who call the church home.
“I have been in leadership on a church staff for 20 years, and my whole life has been about serving people. Since being elected to the School Board, I have discovered that the same passion I have for serving in the church exists in representing our community,” he said.
Maberry lives in Sango, where he and his wife of 18 years, Elizabeth, are raising two daughters and a son.
“I thank Representative Curtis Johnson for his 20 years of service, and just like him, I believe in smaller government, lower taxes and strengthening the Clarksville-Montgomery County community,” Maberry said. “I will not be attempting to fill his shoes but will stand on the foundation he created and be a conservative voice for a new generation.”
