From an opinion piece in the Tennessean -
Franklin voters give Mayor Ken Moore and aldermen a mandate for civic action and sanity
Franklin, Tennessee voters sent a strong message Tuesday that they want good governance based in substance and reality.
A vast majority of citizens re-elected a mayor and selected aldermen who are serious about finding solutions to complex local problems.
They aren’t dabbling in conspiracy theories or associating with neo-Nazis.
They aren’t spreading misinformation about voting machines or voting centers that the City of Franklin had to challenge with a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the label “Rumors.”
They are doing the work of trying to bring the community together on issues ranging from traffic mitigation to affordable housing to responsible planning for rapid growth. They are working to create a Franklin that is welcoming to diverse groups of residents, workers and visitors.

With eight of eight vote centers reporting, these were the unofficial results from the Williamson County Election Commission:
Mayor
- Gabrielle Hanson: 3,322
- Ken Moore: 12,822
- Write-in: 65
Alderman At-Large
Position A
- Clyde Barnhill (incumbent, unopposed): 11,837
- Write-in: 639
Position B
- Brandy B. Blanton (incumbent): 10,946
- Gary Moore: 4,666
- Write-in: 22
Position C
- Greg Caesar: 10,336
- Patrick George: 4,249
- BK Muvvala: 825
- Write-in: 36
Position D
- Jeff Feldman: 4,243
- Ann Petersen (incumbent): 10,961
- Write-in: 42
Hanson, Moore, George and Feldman are MAGA types.
Guess I'll have to forgo my TN jokes for the time being; at least AL, MS, and TX are still themselves.
So's AZ, for that matter.
