Terry Frank (R) announces bid for re-election as Anderson County mayor
Terry Frank has launched her re-election campaign for Anderson County mayor. The county Republican and Democratic primaries are May 5.
Her platform emphasizes fiscal conservatism, public safety, infrastructure investment, and economic opportunity as the cornerstones of her vision, according to a news release announcing her candidacy.
“The many steps we’ve taken to provide sound fiscal management has strengthened Anderson County government’s financial position, providing stability for our citizens and businesses. However, families and retirees continue to face challenges from inflation. We must remain focused on prioritizing tax dollars to enhance quality of life while keeping the county affordable for families and retirees on fixed incomes. We cannot tax our way to prosperity - we must govern with wise, and sometimes tough, decisions,” Frank said in the release.
A lifelong Anderson County resident with paternal roots tracing back eight generations, Frank grew up in Oliver Springs. She graduated from Anderson County High School, attended Sewanee: The University of the South, and earned a B.A. in political science from Middle Tennessee State University. For 20 years, she and her husband Lee owned and operated a small business in Oak Ridge.
