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
It’s time to #AskChas: Why did you move back home?
“I wanted to stay with the people and with the problems and help folks solve things.”
Want to submit a question? Comment here or email chas@chasforclarksville.com and it could make it in to a video.

Were you impacted by the ice storm in January? Stop by the FEMA bus today or tomorrow at Veterans Plaza and register your damage on your primary residence. #tspotter #clarksville #clarksvilletn #disasterrecovery
Big money is a problem in our politics. It’s why I took the pledge not to accept any corporate PAC money in this campaign. Transparency is important so I am publishing my campaign filings on my website. I think this should be standard practice for anyone seeking public office.
I’m really proud of our campaign shattering the total fundraising record for a Clarksville City Council race with $24,000 since our launch. Donations averaged less than $100 with most donors being retired or working for nonprofits. This is a campaign for working people, built by working people.

Yesterday my aunt @min_uff gave the keynote at the Distinguished Educator Awards hosted by @cmcea931. It’s has been an incredibly hard year for Clarksville’s teachers and education staff and I’m really proud of them.
I was just endorsed by @runforsomethingnow!! It’s time for a new generation of leadership in Clarksville, and our campaign has the momentum to deliver that. Rising housing costs and traffic have been getting worse for a while and it’s time for fresh ideas.
I’m excited about this national endorsement as we build a campaign to put working people first.

For resurrections big and small, for all the ways Jesus shows up for everyone (especially the ones we try to judge) Happy Easter weekend my friends! 🐣 ⛪️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #clarksville #clarksvilletn #easter
Last week I toured @nurturehousegroup, a FREE after school program that serves kids across Clarksville. Kids learn about applying for jobs, they interview for a new job every week: sweeping the floors, washing the dishes, etc. They get a pay check, can buy treats, and pay bills. They have time to do their homework. They elect a leader every month who then interviews them for their jobs.
I was blown away to find out it’s an all volunteer program. Our kids need more support than ever, and we are lucky to have programs like Nurture House. Our city should be leaning in on these programs and ensuring they have the resources to serve as many kids as possible. If you want to help, one way is to buy a ticket to their fundraiser on April 25th. I’ll put a link up in my story.
When you have a line dancing pro, @ellie_crain, in your circle you gotta take them the City’s Boots, Beats & Bites hosted by @clarksvilleparksrec. They do a great job with this event: good music, good food by @legendssmokehouseandgrill, and a western store set up by @frenchsbootsclarksville.
Don’t tell me there’s nothing to do in #clarksville! #clarksvilletn #localgovernment
The years are rhyming today. Mom (@rvfreeman) and I took my nieces and nephew to @customshousemuseum like she took me 20-30 years ago. The bubble room is still super cool.
It was very cool to see my late cousin Suzanne Uffelman’s name on the county commission voting board that I assume was taken down after tornado/courthouse rebuilding or later.
Don’t let anyone tell you there’s nothing to do in Clarksville! We have a lot to be proud of.
Lincoln Homes was popping this weekend at the community hunt. Thank you to Queens and Kings for the Betterment of our Community and Monique for putting this on.
As a city, our collective heart is still breaking for Kenwood. At yesterday’s vigil we heard from parents, students, and some of our leaders. Jessica Davis is asking friends of her daughter to send any pictures and videos of fond memories they have to her. DM me and I can connect you. This will be a long road of emotional and physical healing. I’ll continue sharing ways to support these families.

My statement. Praying for the Kenwood community tonight.
