"Who, It Is Fair to Ask, Is Retaliating Against Whom in This Situation?"

In 2020, Jenna Amacher was elected as an alderman in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Her tenure was marked by controversial actions, including opposition to a popular redevelopment plan, conservative political views, and a social media post featuring a Confederate flag. According to the city charter, aldermen must reside within the city limits. After selling her home in Tullahoma in February 2021, Amacher moved outside the city but later purchased an undeveloped lot inside the city where she intended to build a home. However, construction faced delays due to a tornado and the pandemic, and she remained outside the city for over two years. In 2022, Amacher ran for a county commission seat using the undeveloped lot as her address, raising concerns about her residency. A local resident initiated an investigation, leading to a legal challenge seeking her removal from office. A Tennessee court found her claims of residing in the city 'unconvincing,' though the case continues.
