WHO IS ANDREW MITCHELL?
Andrew Mitchell is a proud U.S. Army veteran who served combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell. After 6 years of honorable service to his country, Andrew and his wife, Melissa, made Williamson County their home nearly a decade ago. They raise their two children in the county schools and have lived in Thompson’s Station, Spring Hill, and Franklin before falling in love with Fairview. The Mitchells are devoted followers of Christ and attend Rolling Hills Community Church in Franklin.
Today, Andrew continues his service on the City of Fairview’s Board of Zoning Appeals, where he has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with residents to protect the community from overzealous development and to preserve the beauty of Middle Tennessee.
A proven leader with the courage to take a stand, Andrew will never back down from fighting for Christian conservative values. He is a proud Rotarian with the Franklin Noon Rotary (75th Franklin Rodeo this year!) and is active with the American Legion Fairview Post 248.
Andrew and Melissa are active members of the Williamson County Republican Party and the Williamson County Conservatives PAC. Melissa is also a member of Republican Women of Williamson County and is active in the Republican Women of Fairview. Andrew Mitchell is the Conservative Republican choice to lead District 1 as a County Commissioner!

ON THE ISSUES
Enforce a balanced budget for Williamson County to prevent further tax increases.
We shouldn’t spend money we don’t have on unnecessary services, or raise taxes on citizens before digging deep to find creative ways to fund vital programs.
Support the revision of all Williamson County codes and regulations to modernize and simplify.
Less burdensome regulations benefit our homeowners and business owners, and streamlines our county operations. Our county regulatory boards need to work with the Commission on issues important to citizens.
Work closely with municipalities county-wide to support their Urban Growth Boundaries (UGB).
When cities annex land they take over the infrastructure and that saves the county money in the long run. UGB’s should be evaluated every 5 years to hear homeowner and business owner concerns and recommendations.
Properly fund our public schools and hold the system accountable to being good stewards of their budgets.
As a father of two children in Williamson County Schools I am committed to ensuring we have ample funding available to our students and it is used to create the best education in the state of Tennessee.
Plan for infrastructure improvements before the problems arise.
Support the addition of businesses and developments that will partner to make those improvements. We shouldn’t always hear the phrase “we needed those improvements yesterday.”
Continue supporting the Williamson 2040 plan to enforce a less dense unincorporated area with certain Planned Growth Areas (PGA).
Maintaining a one house to 5 acre land use plan will preserve the rural character of Williamson’s unincorporated areas. We should encourage fiscally responsible, high-quality growth within the areas already being developed.
Most importantly, ensure that the county is being run for the people, by the people. No more backroom deals or closed curtain politics.
Citizens shouldn’t have to guess what is going on behind closed doors, county business is the business of every homeowner and business owner in Willco! I will be transparent and honest about every vote I make.
