Shawn McGowan
For County Commission District #15

I am committed to expanding recycling and finding responsible alternatives to solid waste. Our community deserves smarter, cleaner solutions. District 15 deserves leadership that plans for the future and delivers results.
Balanced budgets are the foundation of responsible leadership and financial stability. We will not support tax increases that place additional strain on hardworking families. Instead, we are committed to smart, disciplined spending that ensures every taxpayer dollar is used effectively.
We will fight to close the landfill and protect the health, safety, and quality of life of our community. No neighborhood should have to endure the environmental and daily impacts it brings. It’s time for a long-term solution that prioritizes residents over convenience.

McGowan is the Chief Financial Officer for Altius Solutions. A certified public accountant, he holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Villanova University and an MBA from Oklahoma State University. With more than 30 years of experience in financial oversight, budgeting, and risk management, McGowan says he’s running to bring fiscal accountability, responsible growth, and practical solutions to the county’s waste challenges.
McGowan and his wife, Laura, a teacher at Providence Christian Academy, have been married for nearly 30 years. They have two adult children Meghan, a teacher in the Rutherford County school system, and Ryan, who works for Frito-Lay in Georgia. McGowan is also an active member of The Experience Community Church in Murfreesboro.
As your County Commissioner, I will fight for balanced budgets, fiscal accountability, and no tax increases, while protecting the health and
quality of life of our community by fighting any landfill expansion.
