I’m running for Knox County Commission for one simple reason: to deliver real results for the people who trust their local leaders to show up and do the work.

Who serves our community at the local level matters. Local government shapes the things we experience every day—from the roads we drive on and the schools our children attend, to the businesses we visit and the first responders who answer the phone when someone calls 911.

Public service at the local level may not always get the spotlight, but it is some of the most important work there is. I’m running to give back to the community that helped shape me and to help ensure Knox County continues to be a place where families and businesses can thrive.

Priorities:

• Low Taxes

• Reduce Traffic and Congestion

• Economic Growth and Jobs

• Responsible Growth

• Supporting First Responders and Teachers

• Addressing Homelessness

I’m Vivian Underwood Shipe, and I’m running for Knox County Commission At-Large, Seat 11 because I believe our community deserves leadership that is grounded in service, accountability, and a real commitment to people. This race is about more than one neighborhood or one part of Knoxville. As an at-large commissioner, I would represent the entire county, which means every voter in Knoxville has the opportunity to vote for Vivian Underwood Shipe, no matter where they live. I’m running to champion the issues that matter most to working families and future generations: economic sustainability, education, mental health, responsible development, and affordable housing. I believe we need leadership that helps families build stability, ensures our children have access to opportunity, treats mental health as a real community priority, and guides growth in a way that protects the people who already call this place home. Development should strengthen our communities, not displace them. Progress should be measured not just by what gets built, but by who benefits. I’m ready to serve with vision, compassion, and courage, and to work for a Knox County where every resident has the chance to thrive.
