CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Republican Julie Chadwick Runyon has announced her candidacy for the 2022 election for Montgomery County Register of Deeds.
“As a Montgomery County native, I am thankful for this opportunity to serve our community. The Register of Deeds is a constitutional office established by the Tennessee State Legislature as the custodian of legal documents primarily pertaining to real property. As a real estate attorney, my experience lines up perfectly for what our Register of Deeds Office needs,” Runyon said.
Runyon is a native of Cunningham. After graduating from Montgomery Central High School, she attended the University of Tennessee-Martin, where she received her bachelor’s in Public Administration with highest honors. She then graduated cum laude from the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law at the University of Memphis.
Upon graduation, she returned to Clarksville to practice law, focusing on real estate law for over 20 years. From residential transactions to multimillion-dollar commercial investment projects, she is experienced in all phases of the real estate market. While assisting individuals and companies, she has worked with the Register of Deeds Office not only in Montgomery County, but across the state.
“Montgomery County’s next Register of Deeds needs to be someone who will be ready on Day 1. I am that person and will be speaking with voters and demonstrating how we can run this office more effectively moving forward,” Runyon said. “As Register, I plan to build on my vast experience to ensure that Montgomery County Register of Deeds Office meets and exceeds the needs of the community with a critical eye and emphasis towards efficiency and technological enhancements.”
She is married to Ray Runyon, with whom she has two children, Connor and Cailynn. She is actively involved in Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and her children’s schools, as well as Clarksville’s Walk 2 End Alzheimer’s.
