Like others running for Williamson County Commission this year, Paul Webb is looking to transition from municipal office to county. The former Brentwood City Mayor served one two-year term as such and two two-year terms as vice mayor during the eight years spent on the Brentwood City Commission. Webb said his experience as a volunteer, treasurer and city commissioner helped him build relationships with officials at all levels of government in the community, which will assist him if elected to represent District 6. His contenders in the Republican primary are incumbent Jeff Ford and newcomer Cyndi Miller.

BHP: Why are you running?ee
Paul Webb: I have the experience, both as a community volunteer and as an elected official, to serve the people of the 6th district. Being involved in our city and county is a responsibility that I take seriously and that I enjoy.
What are the top three issues you will address/advocate for if elected?
My top priority will be to ensure that our highly rated county public education system works toward continued improvement. As Williamson County grows, we must continue to maintain excellence in our public schools. Not only is our childrenes education vital to their success, but it also is an important economic issue to our county. Our top-rated public schools help, especially in Brentwood, to keep residential property values stable. Our school system not only prepares students for the next level of education, but it also is a valuable incentive for new businesses looking to move into our county. Companies want to move to communities that value the equality of life,e and our education system is at the top of the list.
As a CPA and businessperson, it is very important for us to continue our conservative management and budgeting policies. We must be diligent to maintain our AAA credit rating by not overspending.
Traffic is an issue that we must continually work to make better. I have served on local and regional boards that deal with traffic and growth issues. I have the experience and the relationships established to begin working on traffic concerns from the first day on the job.
Why should citizens vote for you?ee
I have the experience in government to work for the residents right away. In my 30 years in Brentwood, I have served as president of the Lipscomb Elementary PTO, Lipscomb Cub Master, Civitan and YMCA ball coach, Civitan treasurer, BHS Athletic Booster Club treasurer and Morning Rotary Club president to name just a few of the organizations I have been a part of over the years.
I have experience from years of service on the library board and as a Brentwood city commissioner. I have experience in the business community that I can share with my fellow commissioners as we manage a large and growing county. I have had to make tough decisions in both my public service and private business experiences, so I can make those decisions when needed as a county commissioner.
I have built relationships with business leaders in the county and in all parts of the state in addition to the relationships I have built with other government officials locally and statewide. I can call on those people to discuss common issues as well as ask for their support for Williamson County projects that will help our district be heard at the county and state level.
I enjoy public service and can assure the voters that I will represent them well as a county commissioner.
