Dwight E. Haynes was sworn in to begin his fifth term on the Dickson City Council at the Oct. 16, 2023, Finance and Management Committee meeting.
Haynes was re-elected Sept. 14 with 56 votes in an uncontested race, according to results certified by the Dickson County Election Commission.
An employee of the Tennessee Valley Authority, Haynes has represented the Fourth Ward on the City Council since 2007 and at 16 years is currently the longest-tenured member of the City Council. He was re-elected in contested races in 2011, 2015 and 2019 and ran unopposed for the first time this year.
He serves as the council’s representative on the Board of Public Utilities and is a member of the Cemetery Committee. Earlier this year he chaired a special committee created to review the city’s parking ordinances.
Haynes was unable to attend the Oct. 2 council meeting when the other winners of last month’s election took their oaths. City Attorney Jerry Smith administered the oath of office to Haynes and Mayor Don L. Weiss Jr. welcomed him back to the council at Monday’s meeting.
