It has been my privilege to work with Scott Davis at Pride Publishing Group for the past ten years. Over these years, I have come know him to be one the finest gentlemen and most sincere, dedicated family men and later, public servants, that I have had the pleasure to know. But, don’t take my word for it. Read what his colleagues on the Metro council had to say when I asked them about him in late June. These are word-for-word their email responses to me:
“It has been an honor to serve with Scott Davis on the Metro Council. I can see how hard he works every single day for his constituents, how much he is on the phone, and how hard he pushes Metro departments for results in District 5. I think he will continue to work hard and I look forward to serving four more years with him as we try to make the best decisions possible in a growing and changing East Nashville.” – Anthony Davis, Metro Council, District 7
“Thank you for emailing me. As you know, Scott’s parents are my constituents. Scott has been a stalwart cheerleader for his district and has been steadfast in his determination to see improvements. I have been happy to serve with him.” – Sheri Weiner
“Scott Davis has built up a extraordinary record over these last four years as a strong advocate for the voters in District 5. He has stood up for his community on every critical issue and has helped create significant investments in his district. I should know; I’ve sat beside him this entire term and I have watched in awe as his tenacity has turned into results for his neighbors. His opponent simply doesn’t have the requisite grit it takes to be the kind of councilperson Scott has been.” – Brady Banks, Council Mem-
ber
“Cass, Scott Davis, 5th District Councilman has been an advocate and servant of his district by bringing in economic development into the area, working with other councilmembers on service projects as well as beautifying the area.

“Scott has been great for the east Nashville area he works really hard for his constituents and he’s brought a lot of business to the area.

“Scott is passionate about his district. I am not indorsing any council members.” – Councilman Steve Glover
“I have enjoyed working with Scott Davis on the Metro Council for the past 4 years. It is clear that Scott cares about Nashville and takes pride in the District that he represents. He has grown into an incredible leader who is not afraid to stand up and speak up for what he feels is right for Nashville. Putting constituents of the 5th District to work has been one of his top priorities, as he has tirelessly lobbied for jobs to move into the East side of the city.” – Lonnell Matthews

“Scott Davis has been a friend and colleague for several years. His leadership for 5th District has been a great addition to the council. I appreciate his intellect, dedication to his community, and work on the Council.” – Charles Robert
