Luke Eldridge, Cookeville native and resident, is proud to call the Upper Cumberland home.
I believe I'm the right person to lead Cookeville because my involvement in this community did not start with a campaign - it has been a consistent part of my life. Even before running four years ago, I was showing up, serving, and staying connected. That has not changed during my time as your Vice Mayor, and it will not change in the years ahead. No matter the title, I'm committed to being present, helping others, and investing in the place we all call home.LEARN MORE
