Learn more about your local government with BMA Highlights

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BMA) is the elected governing body of the City of Kingsport and is responsible for approving such things as the annual budget, city ordinances, and major projects.

The seven-member board includes Mayor Paul W. Montgomery, Vice Mayor Darrell Duncan, and Aldermen Morris Baker, Betsy Cooper, Colette George, Gary Mayes and James Phillips.

Kingsport’s Public Information and Communications Department wants to remind residents that the best way to learn more about what the BMA votes on each month is by signing up for the BMA Highlights newsletter.
