How Brentwood compares with the county

Across Williamson County, Blackburn won 54,843 votes, or 52.6%, to Green’s 40,224, the county summary shows. Hatley drew 7,082. Hagerty won the county with 63,349 votes, or 61.0%.

In the District 9 race, Taylor led Pearson 28,268 to 17,834 in Williamson County. District 9 also takes in voters outside the county, so the county’s count does not decide the race on its own. The Tennessee Secretary of State certifies the districtwide result.

In Williamson County’s count for the two state House seats:

  • District 61: Bulso 16,707, Ripley 12,508
  • District 63: McCalmon 18,760, Andreson 11,991
  • State Senate District 27: Johnson 55,816, Hardy 35,465

Brentwood turned out more heavily than the county. In the eight precincts, 17,512 of 30,768 registered voters cast a ballot, or 56.9%. Countywide, 105,105 of 193,367 voted, for 54.36% turnout.

The three constitutional amendments

Brentwood backed all three proposed changes to the Tennessee Constitution, by margins close to the county’s. The amendments, as summarized on the county’s sample ballot (PDF):

  • Amendment 1 lets a court hold a defendant without bail before trial when the charge is one of a list of serious offenses, and requires the judge to state the reasons on the record. Brentwood: 68.8% yes. County: 69.5% yes.
  • Amendment 2 bars the Legislature from imposing a state property tax. Brentwood: 70.2% yes. County: 71.3% yes.
  • Amendment 3 rewrites the crime victims’ rights section, adding rights such as being told an offender’s minimum sentence and release date. Brentwood: 76.8% yes. County: 77.5% yes.

Whether each amendment is adopted depends on the statewide count.

Which precincts we counted

Williamson County precincts do not follow city limits. To count Brentwood, we used the eight precincts whose registered voters were all eligible in the city’s own May 2025 election: 4-2, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, 7-1, 7-3 and 7-4.

Four more precincts, 4-1, 4-4, 7-2 and 8-1, are only partly in Brentwood. They are left out of the figures above because most of their voters live outside the city. Precinct 7-2 votes in U.S. House District 5, not District 9.
