Tennessee state Senator Heidi Campbell is a Nashville native, a Mom, a former music industry executive and was the first female Mayor of the city of Oak Hill.

Senator Campbell got involved in politics when she formed an opposition campaign when developers tried to change the residential-only status of her hometown by cutting into a wooded hill and building a large shopping mall. Her group was successful in preventing the project, and she decided to run for office. She was elected Vice Mayor and served on the planning commission. Then subsequently, she was elected Mayor and served two terms prior to winning a seat in the Tennessee Senate

Her areas of focus include fiscal accountability, business, the environment, education, and social health. In the state Senate her trademark is bringing compassionate and data-based leadership to the legislature.
