Elect Missy Crutchfield

Missy Crutchfield is passionate about helping create change in her community and in communities around the world. The Crutchfield family has a long and storied history of serving in public office, going all the way back to the Civil War and then Mayor Thomas Crutchfield and his brother William, a 3rd Congressional District Member of the U.S. House of Representatives and Union supporter, who infamously challenged Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, to a duel at the Crutchfield house, which today is known as The Read House. It all starts with a desire to serve and be part of something bigger than yourself.

“Our very democracy is on the line now like never before. We need everyone to get out the vote this year like our democracy depends on it—because it does.”

Missy is now running for the seat her father, the late Tennessee State Senator Ward Crutchfield, held as a long-time Tennessee politician and State Senate Majority Leader. She looks forward to continuing his legacy of working across aisles to find common goals and build cooperative efforts that move beyond partisan politics to get important work done for the people of Tennessee State Senate District 10.

“I am running for Tennessee State Senate District 10 because for far too long now we have been experiencing the results of status quo leadership,” Missy says. “Our very democracy is on the line now like never before. We’re saying “enough.” Just two years ago, I helped co-found a grassroots group of local women called the New Suffragettes who work for women’s rights and getting out the vote and supporting more women running for office so we can all help change the trajectory of our city, county, state, and country. We need everyone to get out the vote this year like our democracy depends on it—because it does.”

“We are strong together. We are building bridges for stronger, safer, healthier communities across Tennessee.”
