Todd Pembroke completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Pembroke's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
Born & raised in Ocala, FL, I attended public schools before moving to Des Moines, IA, where I graduated from Johnston public high school. After earning my degree in Finance from the University of Florida, I went on to receive a Master’s degree in International Finance, studying in The Netherlands and Sweden.
Professional
In 2003, I moved to Nashville (District 2 area) and opened a branch of Farmers Insurance – Pembroke Agency. As owner/operator for the past 10 years, I have grown the business with honesty, customer service and earning the trust of clients. Additionally, I joined the TN Army National Guard in 2010, graduated from Officer Candidate School in 2012, and trained at numerous locations nationwide with the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment. As a Captain and former Company Commander at a unit in Humboldt, TN, I currently serve at the headquarters unit in Columbia, TN.
Family
My wife, Jennifer, and I have been married for 8 years and have been blessed with 3 beautiful girls: Summer (5), Adeline (3) and Penny (6 months). As a Nashville native, Jennifer taught in MNPS system for four years before “temporary retirement” to take care of the family. My mother and stepfather are both retired public school teachers, as well.- There must be a transparent and fluid line of communication between the School Board, school administrators and parents. Limit communication between students and teachers outside of school hours.
- Instill proper discipline in order to foster a positive environment for educators and students; allow teachers to implement appropriate techniques.
- Get back to the basics and fundamentals of traditional curriculum with the removal of anything divisive or controversial (CRT, sexuality, common core, gender identification). Allow teachers to teach, inspire and excite students, instead of relying on scripted lessons.
I feel compelled to run for school board, not as a political stepping stone, but because this is where change needs to occur in order to ensure the brightest future for our children, society, and country.
