Growth

  • Excerpt: "Erin is excited by Nashville's current status as an "It City," but she understands that rapid growth brings with it a host of challenges that we must handle properly.

She believes this includes promoting development that recognizes the unique character of our neighborhoods."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Erin believes that one of the foremost responsibilities of government is to promote educational opportunities across the board. From the child in a Pre-K
