CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – City Councilperson Karen Reynolds, a retired Army master sergeant, has launched her campaign for state Senate District 22 to serve Montgomery County.
“I am excited to announce my bid for the state Senate. I am committed to transparency, accountability and genuine representation. I believe in active engagement, listening intently to residents’ concerns, and transforming those concerns into actionable initiatives,” Reynolds said.
Reynolds said she envisions a future for Tennessee marked by equality. “She has proven to be a fighter for all members of the community, advocating for affordable housing, walkability and sustainable infrastructure. She is committed to advocating for reproductive freedom and accessible healthcare, fighting for well-funded public schools, and addressing the ongoing issue of gun violence,” according to the campaign.
Reynolds added, “I’m running because I refuse to stand by as politicians trample on people’s freedoms. Advocating for equity, embracing diversity and championing human rights defines my philosophy — a commitment to a Tennessee where every individual thrives.”
After retiring with 21 years of honorable service in the Army, Reynolds chose to return to Clarksville in 2001 to raise her two sons. She currently represents City Council Ward 9 in Clarksville, where she resides with her husband, Billy.
Reynolds worked as a veteran service representative for the VA and then as a project manager in healthcare informatics at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital. She holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education from East Carolina University. Reynolds is a graduate of Leadership Clarksville and Leadership Clarksville-Montgomery County School System.
