CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden has announced his candidacy for re-election in the Aug. 6 General Election.
“When I first ran for mayor, we outlined a clear plan focused on our kids, infrastructure, public safety and improving quality of life,” Golden said. “We planned our work, worked our plan, and delivered meaningful results for the people of Montgomery County.”
Since Golden took office three-and-a-half years ago, Montgomery County has secured major private investment, including two new hospitals and additional healthcare expansion that will bring hundreds of high-paying jobs to our community, he said.
Golden led the creation of the Montgomery County Fire Department, strengthening daytime coverage to support the volunteer system and building long-term capacity to protect the community.
To keep pace with school enrollment and ensure students have the space and resources they need, Montgomery County will open its third new school in three years. Careful planning and responsible budgeting have allowed the county to stay ahead of classroom demand while continuing to invest in the next generation, he said.
The county secured right-of-way and construction funding for the Rossview Road widening project, advanced improvements along Lafayette Road toward Fort Campbell, and formally engaged the state on progress for Highway 374. Plans are moving forward on the development of a 152-acre Montgomery County Fairgrounds property that will serve families and community events for years to come.
“It has been an honor to serve this community, and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together,” Golden said. “There is still important work ahead, and Sara and I remain committed to listening, working hard, and ensuring Montgomery County remains a place where families can thrive for generations to come.”
Golden will appear on the May 5 Republican Primary ballot and the Aug. 6 General Election ballot.
