The wisdom of a seasoned clerk, Brenda Wynn

Business licenses, marriage licenses, license plates.For some of us, this is our primary interaction with local government – standing in line, navigating the system. In Tennessee, it’s the job of the county clerk to keep those lines moving, or, increasingly, figure out how you don’t have to wait in a line at all. Today, we bring you a timely profile interview with the outgoing Davidson County Clerk, Brenda Wynn. Because we’re electing a new clerk tomorrow, we’ll talk about what she’s learned in 14 years as our line leader and hear her own story from growing up in public housing and becoming a teen mother to beating the odds through serving this city.This episode was produced by Josh Deepan. Guests Brenda Wynn, Davidson County Clerk
