Decatur County commissioners roster shows district representation across county
Nine districts, 18 commissioners, and a courthouse agenda with public comment: Decatur County residents can match their commissioner to the decisions that shape daily life.
Who represents me, and when should I contact them? In Decatur County, the answer starts with a nine-district commission roster that pairs two commissioners to each district and gives residents a direct line to county spending, roads, public services, grants, and courthouse business. The center of that work is the Decatur County Courthouse on Main Street in Decaturville, the county seat established in 1847, where commission meetings include public input and other county business.
District 1: Ronald Wyatt and Randy Kennedy
District 1 is represented by Ronald Wyatt and Randy Kennedy, the first names on the county’s official commissioners roster. If you are trying to figure out who speaks for your area at the county level, this is the basic starting point: match your district, then follow the commissioners tied to it.
That matters because county decisions do not stay abstract for long. Roads, budgets, public services, and local facilities all move through the commission process in one form or another, and District 1 residents have two elected points of contact when those issues reach the courthouse agenda.
District 2: Jerry Jones and Danny Eason
Jerry Jones and Danny Eason serve District 2, giving that part of the county two commissioners to watch and contact. The roster format is simple, but it is designed for accountability: residents can identify the pair tied to their district instead of sorting through county government on guesswork alone.
The county’s notices page adds another layer of access. Every Decatur County Commission agenda must include time for public comments on county services, programs, projects, and activities, which means District 2 residents have a defined place to speak when county business affects daily life.
District 3: Penny Lindsey and Tad Ward
District 3 is covered by Penny Lindsey and Tad Ward, two more names that anchor the county’s representation map. In a county with dispersed households, that kind of district structure helps keep rural concerns from getting lost when decisions are made in town.
The scale of the county makes that local link important. U.S. Census Bureau figures place Decatur County at 11,435 people in 2020, with an estimated 11,820 as of July 1, 2025, spread across 333.9 square miles of land area.
District 4: Clayton Armstrong and Cassi Keeton
Clayton Armstrong and Cassi Keeton represent District 4, another example of how the county splits its workload across paired commissioners. The roster gives residents a direct map of representation, which is especially useful when county business turns to roads, spending, or public services that affect more than one community at once.
Commission meetings held at the Decatur County Courthouse regularly move through public input, roll call, approval of minutes, and reports from county officials and committees. For District 4 residents, that makes the courthouse agenda worth following closely, not only when a vote is scheduled but also when issues first appear on the table.
District 5: Donald Gregory and Bryan Smith
District 5 is represented by Donald Gregory and Bryan Smith, keeping the county’s district-by-district model intact. The structure gives residents a straightforward answer to a question that often comes up during budget season: which commissioners should hear from me first?
That question matters because county business often lands in practical areas such as financial decisions, local facilities, and public services. When the commission meets, the agenda can include sheriff reports and financial reports, so District 5 residents have a way to track both public safety and spending in the same place.
District 6: David Boroughs and Grant Crowell
David Boroughs and Grant Crowell serve District 6, adding another two-commissioner pair to the county roster. The county’s website puts that representation in a single place, alongside notices and contact information, which makes the roster more than a name list and turns it into a working reference point.
That is useful in a county where the courthouse in Decaturville remains the hub for commission business. Agendas posted by the county show meetings at the Decatur County Courthouse and include public input, committee reports, and other items that move county government from discussion to action.
District 7: David Whitaker and Alex Whitwell
District 7 is represented by David Whitaker and Alex Whitwell. Their district sits within a county that relies on elected representation to keep town and rural voices in the same conversation, especially when matters reach the commission table in Decaturville.
The county seat itself reinforces that point. Decaturville, established in 1847, is the center of county government, and the courthouse on Main Street is where residents can follow the agenda and see how decisions advance through the commission process.
District 8: Clint Brasher and Marty McFall
Clint Brasher and Marty McFall represent District 8, giving that district its own pair of commissioners and its own route into county government. The position is not ceremonial: Tennessee Comptroller guidance says county commissioners must complete at least seven hours of continuing education each year through the University of Tennessee County Technical Assistance Service or another approved provider.
That training requirement underscores how much responsibility sits with the office. Commissioners are expected to handle more than attendance at meetings; they are part of the machinery that shapes county roads, grants, public facilities, and the budget decisions that follow.
District 9: Mike Box and Wesley Long
District 9 is represented by Mike Box and Wesley Long, completing the county’s nine-district roster. Their district, like the others, plugs directly into a county government that serves a relatively small population, but one spread widely enough to make local representation essential.
For Decatur County residents, that scale is the key context. With 11,435 residents in the 2020 census and a 2025 estimate of 11,820 across 333.9 square miles, the district system helps make sure county votes are tied to the people who live with the results, from courthouse policy to road work and public service spending.
