Local Elections Matter w/Columbia’s Ray Jeter :: Ep 201 MMTBP

Middle Tennessee Business Podcast....subscribe/follow/rate/review at www.mmtbp.comI met Ray Jeter a few months ago at a Maury County Commission meeting. I was impressed with his earnest desire to make sure Maury County, which has been experiencing unprecedented growth along with most of Middle Tennessee, to maintain its rural roots and charm mixed with suburban enterprise.  To say that Ray Jeter’s roots are firmly planted in Maury County is quite an understatement. When Ray was three years old, his family relocated their concrete business to middle Tennessee, laying the foundation for his future endeavors in Maury County.He met his future wife-to-be in Kindergarten! His formative years were spent in the humble surroundings of the Maury County trailer park, American Mobile Village. It was here that he first encountered the life-altering power of faith, guided by Pastor John Rushing.Later, at a local church, he rekindled his connection with God and reunited with Courtney, his kindergarten sweetheart, forging a bond that would withstand the tests of time.Ray enrolled in Bible College immediately after graduation. After just three semesters in Bible College, Ray proposed to Courtney, and they were married on March 16, 2002.In 2009, Ray joined the Maury County Sheriff’s Department as a reserve deputy, later earning a full-time appointment as a patrol deputy in 2011. In August 2014, he was elevated to the position of Chief Deputy Sheriff.Fueled to effect positive change in his community, Ray campaigned for and won the Maury County Commission seat in 2022. With unwavering determination and a steadfast commitment to public service, he now sets his sights on a new endeavor, campaigning for TN State Representative, driven by a vision of Maury First.Follow Ray:www.mauryfirst.comHighpoints:Growth and development in a small town.
