Henry County Commissioner
Vice Chairman, County Commission
Mary Warren
3rd
District
 I am a second term commissioner
from the third district. My husband Joe and I have been married for
forty-five years and have two children and three grandchildren. I was
educated in the Bradford School System and have some credits toward a
degree in Computer Science from Dyersburg State. My work experience is
in accounting, insurance, and as a school secretary. Joe and I are
active members of Point Pleasant Baptist Church, where I have been a
children’s Sunday school class teacher, sang in the choir, and served on
various committees.
As a commissioner I presently serve on eight committees where I am
chairman of two and secretary of four. They are: Adult Oriented
Establishment Board, Central Community Service Center Building
Committee, County Health Insurance Committee, Legislative Committee,
Nominating Committee, Non-Profit Study Committee, Office on Aging
Committee, and Work Release Committee.
My desire is to work with the other commissioners in an effort to make
Henry County a safer, healthier, more moral place for our citizens to
live, a place that offers a safe environment for the children of Henry
County. It is my hope that working together we can make Henry County a
place where people will want to come to vacation and when they get here
they will not want to leave. Henry County is a beautiful place with many
things to offer those living here as well as the visitor. I think we
have only just begun to tap into our nature resource. In reading and
listening you will learn that Henry County has a long history of
inventors and advanced thinkers. I believe we should make every effort
to make it an even better place.
I believe the Lake Area has the most potential for growth at this time
and I think one of the most important things we can do for the future of
Henry County is to get 79 Highway four-laned all the way to Milan, TN. I
hope we will all work together in an effort to accomplish this so we can
make it easier for industries and businesses to get products in and out
of our county.
I am presently working with the county mayor and the Springville Utility
District, in the Old Springville Area, in an effort to get quality
water, in quantity to that area. I believe in bringing quality water
into that area will not only be of great value to the citizens that live
there but will also help that area with farther development. I believe
this is an area that has been somewhat overlooked and we should make
every effort to make quality water available to those taxpayers.
I think we can all agree that every tax dollar should be used wisely in
an effort to bring the most benefits to our citizens. I encourage all
citizens to get involved in your community and take an active role in
working to make Henry County the best and most desirable place it can
be. I also encourage all citizens to come to the commission meetings in
an effort to become informed as to how your commissioners are
representing your thoughts and values. Many times in the commission
meetings we are just taking care of house hold chores, such as making
budget transfers, etc. However there are times when very important
matters are being voted on, matters that will affect all citizens and I
think it would be beneficial that “YOU” be present for all meetings so
you won’t miss something important. |
