I’m Charles Uffelman, and I’m running for City Council to fight for a city we can afford that works for working people.
In the fight for a better future for all Clarksvillians
On The Trail With Chas
That’s a wrap on the best @leadership_clarksville class EVER! I learned a ton, made friends I didn’t expect, and was able to see parts of Clarksville I would have never seen otherwise. Clarksville has some brilliant up and coming leaders, watch out yall!
#askchas If you put @theblackhorsepubandbrewery beer cheese in a thermos I’d take it work for lunch. #clarksville #clarksvilletn #local
Today I’m remembering the fallen with veterans at Mt. Olive Cemetery. I replaced the flag of Joseph Dorris of the 13th U.S. Colored Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War, a true defender of freedom and liberty.
During this campaign, I want to be a student of our city, learning about our community and how our government works. Citizens Police Academy has been a good source of information about our police department. The ride alongs have been very helpful in gaining perspective of how our city moves at night and during crises. I really enjoyed working with the officers on my shift and the ones leading this course.
That being said, I know this is not the only perspective on community safety, investing in education and youth services is the ultimate priority in building a better community.
I’m glad to have this relationship with CPD and to know I’m still a pretty good shot 😜
Through the years we have worked hard, fought, made up, joked on each other, served the community, and we’ve built an amazing friendship. I’m proud to have Ronnie Glynn as one of my best friends, as a community leader, and as my State Representative.
Joining me in wishing a very Happy Birthday to the Honorable Ronnie Lorenzo Glynn! @ronniefor67 @ronnieglynn

If you’re new here allow me to introduce myself. I’m Charles Uffelman. I’m an organizer. I’m a union member. #clarksville is my home. I’m fighting for a city that works for working people, that we can afford. #clarksvilletn #local #progressive
I love you Mom! Happy #mothersday❤️ @rvfreeman
The racist #gerrymandering of our congressional maps harkens back to #JimCrow. Both my home of #Clarksville and my former home of #Memphis were carved up to take away the voice of the Black community.
We join generations of fighters like Jesse MH Graham, Clarksville’s first Black State Representative who was kicked out by the same state legislature who passed these maps, in taking on the long fight against white supremacy. We join, Nace Dixon, our second black city council member who was pushed out when they changed how the city elected council. We join Wilma Rudolph, who fought to desegregate this city after winning Gold in the Olympics.
This movement is growing despite what they pass. Just as organizers grew out of Graham and Dixon’s time to produce Rudolph, the next generation is rising out of this fight to prepare for the next. WE WILL WIN!
Tennessee is fighting back against the racist gerrymander in this special session. #tn #gerrymandering
Today I joined 27 other Clarksville-Montgomery Co elected officials in opposing the gerrymandering of our community. Some of the maps I`ve seen strip Clarksville from district 7 less than 6 months since our special election.
We need everyone to take action this week. The link in my bio takes you to a page of resources so you can do something from home or by showing up at the Capitol. #VRA #Clarksville #votingrights
