Jerry Creasey
Oak Ridge resident Jerry Creasey has announced he is seeking re-election to the District 7 seat on the Anderson County Commission. The Seventh District includes Highland View, Glenwood, and Pine Valley precincts.
Creasey has served as vice chairman and chairman of the County Commission. He has also chaired the Legislative, ADA Oversight, Computer, and the Veterans Committees. Creasey is presently chairman of the Legislative Committee, and he is serving on the ADA Oversite and Purchasing committees, as well as the Library and 911 Boards.
Creasey said his efforts and hard work on the County Commission helped establish a General Sessions Court, a second ambulance station, a Veterans Office, Trustee and County Clerk’s offices in Oak Ridge, and to bring water and sewer to many rural areas of Anderson County.
Creasey said he was first elected to the county commission in 1990 on an education platform. During his nearly 24 years of service to the citizens of Anderson County, he hasn’t missed a single Commission meeting in more than 20-plus years, a press release said.
“I will continue my hard work and give my strong support for education, economic development, and the welfare of all citizens of Oak Ridge and Anderson County,” Creasey said in the release.
Creasey’s wife of 55 years, Tanyia Routh Creasey, is the owner of Oak Ridge Communications and Telephone Answering service. She will serve as campaign co-chair.
