I grew up watching my parents (Jill Tate Mitchem and the late Sen. Hinton Mitchem) serve the community. From working to attain the rank of Eagle Scout at the age of 17 to serving as an intern with Sen. Richard Shelby in the U.S. Senate and with Congressman Tom Bevill in the U.S. House of Representatives while in college, I have sought opportunities to serve.
For the past ten years, I have been very involved in the community working with CASA of Marshall County; I have served on the Board of Directors for almost five years. This organization provides care to the elderly and homebound. I am chairman of the largest fundraising committee of CASA, directing their annual golf tournament that provides a substantial portion of the operating budget. I am also an active member of the Board of Directors of the Shephard’s Cove Hospice Foundation.
I work to do as much as I can to help the people of Marshall County. I have been able to provide a lot of service through my work with CASA and Hospice. The opportunity to serve more people in an even greater capacity is the reason I decided to enter this race for State Representative.- I want to serve the people of District 26, not special interest groups or legislative leadership.
- I have demonstrated my ability to be a servant leader through my many years of community service.
- I have a strong educational background with an associate degree in pre-law, a BA in political science, and two master's degrees.
