Erinne Hester addressed those in attendance at the 106th Annual Lone Oak Picnic

Election 2014Cunningham, TN – On Saturday, July 27th, 2014, Montgomery County Assessor of Property Erinne Hester spoke at the 106th Annual Lone Oak Picnic held by the Central Civitan Club.

“I was born and raised in Clarksville. I went to Austin Peay State University where I got a degree in accounting. After that, I married my high school sweet heart and we have two boys 8 and 11,” Hester stated. “I worked in the County for about 10 years. I started in the finance office and worked my way up. I was finance director for 6 years.”

“When the prior Assessor of Property resigned in December, I was appointed the Montgomery County Commission,” said Hester. “I am probably running for office during the absolute worst time for an assessor because we just finished the reappraisal process. Those were the cards I was dealt. We worked really hard through that process.”

“I want our office to be a place where you come in and you have a question and your greeted with a smile and someone that knows what their talking about,” Hester commented. “Our property is our home. It’s our castle. It’s our investment. It’s our retirement and I want property owners to know that my office respects that.”
