Renee Bruens for County Commissioner District 20

Hi! I am Renee Michelle Bruens and I am running for County Commissioner of District 20 because I believe our community is stronger together. My commitment to serve is rooted in lived experience, community leadership, and a deep belief in bringing people together to solve real problems.

I've always advocated for "the people", such as currently serving my second year as Vice President of our HOA board. I work alongside neighbors to address concerns such as flooding, strengthen communication, and make decisions that benefit all of us. This role reinforces my values of transparency, accountability, and practical leadership.

As a veteran's wife and proud mother of two sons, I understand the importance of service, responsibility, and building a strong future for our next generations. I'm also deeply involved in my community through volunteer work such as being a member of Rotary where I jointly serve on the Peacebuilding Committee, promoting unity, service, and understanding.

Another organization I take pride on being a member of is the Canopy Initiative; an organization dedicated to ensuring our unhoused neighbors have a clear and compassionate pathway toward stability. I believe a strong county is one that invests in solutions that uplift everyone and leaves no one behind.

An athlete and advocate for teamwork, I am a founding member of Clarksville Roller Derby and currently skates with Vette City Roller Derby out of Bowling Green, KY. Previously serving as President and Treasurer, roller derby has shaped my leadership style, emphasizing resilience, trust, discipline, and the understanding that success is built through teamwork, not individual effort.

My campaign is about people, not politics. I'm committed to listening, collaborating across differences, and building county government that reflects the strength and diversity of its residents. I'm excited to show you who I am and why I am running this campaign season.
