Managing and protecting our natural resources is no small task. I would be honored to serve on the Local Government Advisory Committee. As a sixth generation farmer, I understand the environmental impact of livestock development and crop growth and the care that must be taken to maintain health and production. With a strong background in leadership that began in rural Tennessee and now encompasses the entire state, I have extensive experience with regulatory and permitting programs and perspective on the importance of community economic development. Furthermore, I understand the value of partnerships and relationships that cross public and private sectors. Mindful stewardship of our natural resources ensures the best use of our land and water today, and preservation for future generations. It is an investment that benefits all. I sincerely hope you will consider my request to serve. Jai Templeton Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 3/4 ED 002061 00066236-00001
