Quotes
When Burkley Allen and I served together in the Metro Council, I knew from the minute I met her that she has the heart of a public servant. As a district Council Member in her neighborhood and as a Council Member at Large, Burkley’s priority has always been to make the lives of Nashvillians better. She has stood up for making our schools better places to learn and safe places for our children. She understands the public purse and the sacred duty of spending the taxpayers’ money transparently and responsibly. She knows that the will of developers never should outweigh the wishes of the people who live here. In her soft-spoken but determined way, Burkley is a true champion for ALL our neighborhoods, ALL our schools, and for ALL Nashvillians. That is why I am endorsing Burkley Allen for re-election as Metro Council Member at Large. |

I have been inspired by Burkley's dedication, energy, and mastery of the many issues. It is comforting to have a Council member with her engineering ability and intelligence, and good judgment. I appreciate that she listens to both sides before taking a thoughtful stand. |

Burkley is smart, humble, and conscientious. She drills down to the core of legislation and its effect on the people who live here in Nashville. She’s not concerned with popularity or her pocketbook. Her agenda is Nashville, and the quality of life for the people who live here. She’s truly one of the best people I know. |

Burkley embodies the reason we have at-large councilmembers in Nashville. She is an extremely astute public servant whose integrity is beyond reproach. Burkley listens to ALL sides of an issue before she takes a position, and most importantly she is 100% responsive to everyone. If our city council is ultimately reduced from 40 to 20 members, we will be blessed if those remaining 20 have her work ethic and love for people. I'm supporting Burkley |

Burkley Allen has demonstrated her commitment to improving community environments time and time again. When the community has been presented with a problem she has given her leadership, her expertise and her hard work to develop solutions. Thanks to Burkley’s efforts, we have a greener community, zoning to protect our residential neighborhoods and increased community involvement. |

Burkley is one of the most thoughtful preservationists I know. She doesn’t merely react but looks at the issues and helps to find solutions. When I was at the Historical Commission, I frequently found myself asking, ‘What does Burkley think?’ |

Burkley has a consistent voice of wisdom and thoughtfulness. Nashville would be fortunate to have her skill-set to analyze important issues. |
