MICHAEL FOSTER
“I am pleased and honored to announce that I am seeking the Republican nomination for Anderson County Commission District 2,” he said. “During my time as Rocky Top city manager, I have gained a strong understanding of the complexities of city, county and state government.”
Foster is a lifelong resident of Anderson County. He graduated from Clinton High School in 2002, and from the University of Tennessee in 2006.
He went on to receive certification as a certified public manager and as a certified municipal finance officer, using that knowledge to serve as Rocky Top’s city manager, he said.

“I will bring experienced conservative leadership to the commission,” Foster said. “Conservative principles and values are important to me, and as a lifelong conservative Republican, I promise that I will bring those ideals to the county commission and work diligently to keep more of the taxpayers’ money in their own pockets.”
Foster lives in Clinton with his wife, Katie, and their son, Tate, and twin daughters, Graylin and Denton. He attends Faith Promise Church.
