      Mayor Indya KincannonDuring her tenure, Mayor Kincannon’s number one priority is public safety.

      BODY WARN CAMERAS

      In just her first 2 years in office, she committed nearly $2 million to purchase the city’s first-ever body-worn cameras for Knoxville police.

      OFFICER CO-RESPONDER MODEL

      She also implemented the City’s first co-responder model that partners licensed mental health professionals with officers.
       
      OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY

      Understanding that public safety must be a collaborative effort, Mayor Kincannon created Knoxville’s new Office of Community Safety in 2021 to concentrate on violence interruption efforts in the city.
       
      AFFORDABLE HOUSING

      Affordable housing is another critical element for a thriving community. That is why in 2021, with tremendous community support, Mayor Kincannon committed  $50 million for the newly created Affordable Housing Fund.  
       
      KNOXVILLE MULTI-USE STADIUM

      When it comes to jobs and economic development, Mayor Kincannon hit it out of the park with her support of a new multi-use stadium in Knoxville. This project is helping to revitalize a site that has sat vacant for decades. The stadium and surrounding redevelopment will bring thousands of jobs to the City, with a total estimated economic impact of $480 million.
       
      KAT FREEDOM PASS

      Mayor Kincannon knows that equitable access to opportunity requires reliable public transportation and affordable high speed internet.  That is why in January of 2021, Mayor Kincannon introduced the Freedom Pass, which allows all students, through high school, to ride city buses for free. 

      KUB MUNICIPAL BROADBAND

      She also championed the development of municipal broadband, which is currently being installed across the City and into rural areas of East Tennessee.
       
      COVID-19

      Mayor Kincannon has continued to move Knoxville forward, all while helping the City navigate the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under her leadership, the City of Knoxville provided dozens of testing and vaccine clinics, initiated a robust COVID information campaign, and paid first responders hero pay for their work on the front lines.
