Tennessee Voter Guide: ★★★★★ — Strongest Endorsement
July 2026
I'm humbled and grateful to receive the 2026 Tennessee Voter Guide's highest rating — five stars, their strongest endorsement — for County Commission District 2, Seat A. The guide's non-partisan ratings are based on each candidate's answers to a questionnaire reflecting a conservative biblical worldview. See where every Loudon County candidate stands before you vote on August 6.
“We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.”
New: Data Centers & Loudon County
July 2026
Here's the part of the data center debate almost nobody mentions: Loudon County already has a data center — and it's the right kind. Right-sized, publicly owned, and built for our community's needs at LCUB. I've laid out the honest pros and cons, what TVA and the state are doing to keep hyperscale costs off your power bill, and where I stand.
New: County Budget Resources
July 2026
I built these tools to dig into Loudon County's FY2026 finances — see how reserves, revenue, and spending stack up. The county is in sound fiscal shape with strong reserves and a growing tax base. It's confidently investing in capital — mostly schools — and has the balance sheet to do it. The key is managing the debt ramp and reserve deployment strategically through 2031. Use these tools to see the math yourself.

Meet Jason: Committed, Conservative, Community-First
I'm Jason Tuttle, a lifelong Lenoir City Republican with deep ties to Loudon County. With 20 years in public safety, broadband innovation, and community service, I'm ready to deliver conservative solutions for our growing county. From leading rural broadband expansion at LCUB to serving as a Housing Authority Commissioner, I've tackled real challenges with results.
These days I call myself semi-retired — though anyone who knows me will tell you I don't sit still. Since 2024 I've been helping manage the Dollar Tree next to Walmart here in Lenoir City, and we just opened a second store in the old Big Lots building behind Arby's on Highway 321. It's one of those stores where people shop because of the people — that's what our customers tell us — and I love our store, our people, our customers, and our community. I also do app development and consulting work on the side; that work is under NDA, so I can't say much about it, but it keeps my technical skills sharp.
As a Doctor of Business Administration (Walden University, 4.0 GPA), with a Master's in Information Systems Management, and certifications like Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), I bring data-driven solutions to county challenges. My research on broadband expansion and cybersecurity shows my commitment to progress grounded in practical results.
As a Republican, I stand for limited government and putting our community first. I'm not a politician - I'm a problem solver who believes in listening to residents and delivering real solutions. Let's keep Loudon County thriving while protecting what makes it special.
Conservative Solutions for Loudon County
My platform reflects Republican values and your priorities in District 2
Controlled Growth
Push for smart zoning to manage growth while preserving our rural charm. Ensure new developments support existing infrastructure. Population growth demands planning to avoid overcrowded schools and roads.
Transparency
Use tools like BidNet for fair bidding and make budgets fully public. Taxpayers deserve clarity after recent school funding and grant debates. Every dollar spent should be visible and justified.
Fiscal Responsibility
Block unnecessary tax hikes and focus spending on public safety, schools, and infrastructure. Families need relief, not higher taxes, in today's economy.
Safety & Sustainability
Fund law enforcement and emergency services while protecting our water and land. Growth requires safe communities and sustainable resources for the future.
Infrastructure First
With new housing and businesses booming, I'll ensure development doesn't outpace our roads, schools, or water systems. My LCUB broadband work proved I can balance progress with practicality.
Economic Relief
No tax hikes—my budget priorities will fund essentials like public safety and essential services without waste. Your family budget matters, and so should the county's.
