|
He is the son of the late Sam and Cleo Vandagriff and has been married to Carolyn Hoover Vandagriff for 27 years. Carolyn is employed at the law office of Cathleen Conley. The couple has two children, Christy Solomon and Brandon Vandagriff.
Christy is married to Trinity Solomon, and they have one son, Garrick. Christy is employed at Oster. Brandon is employed at Goody?s and is a junior at Tennessee Tech.
Vandagriff has lived in the Dibrell community all his life, and he continues to live on the family farm. He attended Dibrell Elementary School and graduated from Warren County High School in 1978.
He was employed at A.O. Smith in 1978 and continues to work there. Currently he is lead coordination supervisor over the IHP line.
Vandagriff made the decision to run for county commissioner in 1994 because he wanted to serve the community. He has served on the county commission for three terms.
He has served as chairman of the Economic Development Committee for eight years. He has also served eight years on the Education Committee, eight years on the Land Committee, and four years on the Policy and Personnel Committee.
?I have loved serving my community for 11 years,? Vandagriff said of his work with the county commission.
Vandagriff feels his experience on the county commission has prepared him for the office of trustee and tax collector. He has worked with all the county commissioners, community residents and other county officials during his time in the commission, which is an important asset for the office of trustee.
?I believe the trustee office should have an honest, friendly and efficient environment. I am dedicated and hard working and I feel like I fit the requirements of the office,? Vandagriff said. ?Whoever becomes trustee will be your choice. I ask you to choose me for this office.
?I hope to meet everyone I can in Warren County during this campaign,? Vandagriff added. ?Please vote for me on May 2.?
