Chaz Molder is the mayor of Columbia, Tennessee, an attorney, husband, father of three, and lifelong Tennessean who came up through Columbia’s public schools. First elected in 2018 as the youngest mayor in the city’s history, he won reelection in 2022 by a wide margin in a county Donald Trump carried by more than 45 points, and he has passed eight straight balanced budgets with no property tax increase while investing in schools, public safety, and infrastructure. Chaz would bring Tennessee’s 5th District a mayor’s habit of working across party lines, with a focus on lowering costs, cleaning up corruption in Washington, and delivering results people can see in their own towns.
