City Mayors Elected To Serve On UCHRA Executive Committee

Six city mayors selected to serve on the UCHRA Executive Committee.

Cookeville Mayor Laurin Wheaton and Gainesboro Mayor Lloyd Williams will represent the north sub-region. Smithville Mayor Josh Miller and Gordonsville Mayor John Potts were elected for the middle sub-region. The south region will be represented by McMinnville Mayor Ryle Chastain and Sparta Mayor Jerry Lowery.

The Upper Cumberland region was divided into three areas with two mayors to represent each one. The members were decided by a vote among the other city mayors.

In June of last year, the committee voted to downsize its board to just six city mayors to improve meeting participation. All 14-county mayors are still on the board.
