CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Autumn Simmons has announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination for the Montgomery County Commission in the new District 20.

Simmons, 27, is a military spouse, and stay-at-home mother of two girls. “My husband and I quickly fell in love with Clarksville and decided to lay our roots here for generations to come,” she said.

“Our community deserves the opportunity to be heard by those who represent them. Once elected, I want to have community town halls so I can hear directly from those who live and work in District 20,” she said.

Simmons said she wants to support better road infrastructure to accommodate population growth and development. She also supports full funding of schools to provide quality education and accommodate children with special needs. “I am in favor of keeping our taxes low and bringing higher-paying jobs here.”

District 20 covers all of northeast Montgomery County roughly east of Interstate 24 and north of the Red River.
