John Potts announces candidacy for Gordonsville City Council

October 30, 2018

My name is John Potts and I am running for Gordonsville’s town council. I was nominated for the vacated seat of town council two years ago and gladly accepted. I’m offered a unique view of the town and its residents because I’m an employee of the town. I see their individual needs and hear each individual concern.

I have been blessed to grow up in our small town and know the importance of it’s small town values. However, change is coming to our town. We are at a crossroad of growth, both commercial and residential. I want to see Gordonsville be on the forefront of growth in Smith County with our unique access to the interstate. I’d like to see Gordonsville communicate and work closer with the county, Carthage and South Carthage as well as the entire Upper Cumberland region. I know we will have our growing pains, but I will do all I can to keep Gordonsville a wonderful place to work and raise a family. I would like to better utilize government agencies that are available to small growing communities like ours.

I’m married to Heather Potts and we have two kids. Ethan is 20 and Trinity is 16.  Heather, Ethan and I have all graduated from GHS as Trinity will in 2020. We are members of Gordonsville First Baptist.

I’m invested in our town as much as I possibly can be. As always, I will be available when needed to the town and its residents. I look forward to being able to continue my service. I appreciate your support.
