MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WGNS) – Longtime Rutherford County Property Assessor Rob Mitchell wants to take his local government experience to Capitol Hill. Mitchell launched an active bid seeking election as Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury when state lawmakers choose constitutional officers in 2027.
The Tennessee General Assembly elects the state comptroller by a joint vote of all 132 lawmakers. The office directs more than six hundred state employees across thirteen divisions, managing municipal finances, bond issues, and government audits.
Mitchell has served Rutherford County as property assessor since 2012. His office handles up to 50-thousand parcel reviews every four-year cycle while processing thousands of new construction permits in one of the state’s fastest-growing areas. Mitchell says he wants to bring that ground-level county perspective to state oversight, promising equal access to lawmakers of both parties.
