Meet (Met) the Candidates

Three of LaVergne's top political candidates hosted a barbeque tonight at the LaVergne Civic Auditorium on Old Nashville Highway and hundreds of folks showed up for the good time! There was great food, live music, and the opportunity to have some face time with our city decision-makers.



I :::love::: living in a small town! It was so neat seeing the friends and neighbors who were there! Shout out to Terrie B of Digital Teardrops, Ivy, Doug & Chris Shafer, Libby Sullivan, Tracy Halfacre, Denise & Gus, and so many more!

We at the LaVergne blog want to again extend an invitation for our local candidates to address the readers of this blog. We've already heard from a couple - check out the City Elections 2006 link on the left. Our only requirement is that you do not attack another candidate or person... no negative campaigning here. Send your thoughts or comments to us and we'll post them!

Meanwhile, Ivy and I met Jerry Gann for the first time. What a friendly, outgoing person! Jerry is running for reelection as Alderman.



We said hello to Ronnie Erwin, coach extraordinaire. Ronnie is currently our Vice Mayor and hopes to be elected Mayor. He is being endorsed by current mayor, Sherry Green, as well as Bad Bad Ivy herself.



And Sherry Green completed the terrific trio. It was delightful to meet her sister and brother-in-law, as well (I think Sherry must be a twin!). Sherry is stepping down as mayor, but wants to continue to be a part of our city government, so is running for Alderwoman.



Thanks for the opportunity to meet you! There will be another opportunity to meet the candidates at Veteran's Memorial Park on September 30th. I don't know the time yet, but my guess it'll again be at 6:00 p.m. See you there!
