Kevin Brooks never planned on becoming the mayor of Cleveland, he just kept saying yes to serving people and following the next open door.
In this episode, Kevin shares how he always knew he wanted to be a public servant, why after six terms as Representative of the 24th District he decided to run for Mayor (what some considered to be a “step backwards” politically), and why not running for mayor earlier still weighs on him.
We also explore Cleveland's remarkable economic growth, including being named the #1 county in Tennessee for new manufacturing jobs in 2024, and Kevin's vision for the city's exponential growth over the next few years.
