Davidson Local’s Practice: Columns by Local Politicians

At Davidson Local, we welcome columns written by local politicians. Our mission has always been to provide a free and trusted space for community voices, and that includes elected officials. We believe it matters for readers to hear directly from the people making decisions that shape Davidson County’s future.

Columns allow local leaders to explain their positions in their own words, share updates on city or county initiatives, and invite community dialogue. Publishing these voices doesn’t mean endorsement—we treat them as part of a balanced news ecosystem, alongside reporting, community commentary, and reader letters.

We edit only for clarity, length, and factual accuracy, but the perspectives belong to the authors themselves. Just like with letters and guest columns, the responsibility for content rests with the contributor. Our job is to make sure it reaches the community in a transparent and accessible way.

Davidson County Sheriff, goverment

We urge our County leaders to speak carefully and respectfully when making public comparisons about risk, especially when discussing the lives and sacrifices of officers who put themselves between the public and danger every single day. Public service comes in many forms—but not all service carries the same burden of being both protector and target.

Political Opinion: As we all know the main race coming up in 2022 are local elections, the main one will be for County Commissioner. At the top of the list is maintaining Constitutionality at the local level. Most have a particular view that the Constitution only encompasses that which they are in favor of. Truth is that it was written to include all, only a couple of Articles and Bill of Rights are specifically addressed to the citizen.
