Stephen McNally announces bid for Clinton Mayor
Stephen McNally
A lifetime resident of Clinton, McNally and his wife, Christina, have five children who all attend Clinton public schools. The family attends and serves at Second Baptist Church in Clinton.
McNally graduated from Clinton High School in 2003 as valedictorian. He attended Carson-Newman University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in computer information systems. He earned a master’s degree in business administration from Tennessee Tech.
He has been a project leader, helping advance state-of-the-art technology while working for the University of Tennessee, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Department of Defense.
McNally has volunteered on several community boards, and currently serves on the Clinton Utilities Board.
He also serves on the Child Advocacy Center Board in Clinton.
McNally and his wife spearheaded the inclusive South Clinton Playground initiative that has created a safe place for children of all ages and abilities to enjoy.
A sports advocate, McNally has coached at various levels, including numerous recreational, travel, and high school teams. McNally owns a small business called On Deck Athletics LLC, which helps younger athletes receive the training they need from professionals.
McNally said he is prepared to lead the city in meeting the challenges ahead.
“I am committed to leading a new generation of families in Clinton to define a vision for the future of our hometown,” he said. “I strongly believe that through new ideas and listening to our citizens, we can enhance our quality of life for younger families while preserving the traditions that have defined Clinton for the past 50 years.”
McNally said he also believes strongly in term limits.
“Two terms is the most anyone should serve as mayor,” he said. “We need new ideas and the involvement of new community leaders on a regular basis. Twenty years in office is not productive.”
“I look forward to engaging with families across the city over the next 15 months, door to door,” he said. “It’s time to go to work.”
