Gallatin Mayor Paige Brown is running for re-election despite a dispute over a 2018 term limit vote and a court battle surrounding her eligibility. In 2018, Gallatin voters thought they passed a ballot question not allowing a Mayor to be elected four consecutive terms, according to Attorney Tom Lee. Lee represents the "Friends of Old Hickory," a group that took Brown to court over her ballot eligibility. Lee says the language on the 2018 charter reads that a Mayor can serve three consecutive terms and a half term, with that half term being if the candidate came into office filling a vacant seat. Brown doesn't see it that way.
