Ward 4 Councilperson Redd to resign effective October 31

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. -- Ward 4 Clarksville City Councilperson Wallace Redd has announced his resignation from the office, effective Oct. 31, 2024.

Councilperson Redd has cited personal reasons for the decision, adding he will be moving outside of the Ward 4 boundaries.

"It has been my honor to have served four terms as a Councilman and one term as Montgomery County Commissioner," Councilperson Redd said in a written statement to Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts.

"I have done my best to uphold my oath of office and represent the constituents of Ward 4," he said. "Helga and I will keep Clarksville and the City Council in our prayer."

"Councilman Redd has always put his constituents and our citizens first while he's served on the City Council," Mayor Pitts said. "He is our de facto parliamentarian, always helping me to keep the Council on track during our deliberations.

"His invaluable perspective, and humor, will be missed, and we pray for him and his family in the future," Mayor Pitts said.

With the regularly-scheduled November 2024 City elections close at hand, Councilperson Redd's immediate successor in the Ward 4 seat will be determined by voters in that election.
