About Justus

A neighbor, not a politician.

Justus Stout is a husband, a father of three daughters, and a local entrepreneur who believes Rhea County's best days are ahead.

Born out of a deep love for this community, Justus's campaign for District 5 Commissioner is about more than a title — it's about showing up for neighbors, running a county government that's accountable and responsive, and making sure the Rhea County our kids inherit is even stronger than the one we grew up in.

As a small business owner, Justus has learned that the best solutions are practical, rooted in common sense, and built on trust. He brings that same mindset to public service: listen first, plan carefully, and treat every taxpayer dollar like it came out of your own pocket — because it did.

When he's not working or at a community event, you'll find him with his wife and three daughters — at church, on the courthouse lawn, or running the local 5K hand-in-hand.

What I Stand For

Conservative values.
Optimism for the future.

Family & Faith

Strong families and shared values are the foundation of any healthy community. Policy should protect, not erode, what matters most at home.

Honest Government

Every dollar a family earns matters. Rhea County taxpayers deserve transparency, fiscal discipline, and leaders who answer their phone.

Smart Growth

Dayton and Rhea County are growing. Good planning — good roads, good schools, and good jobs — means our kids can afford to stay and raise their own families here.

In the Community

Showing up is half the job.

From the courthouse square to the finish line at the One Sweet Run, you'll find Justus where his neighbors are. Good representation starts with listening — in person, not just at election time.

"I'm running because I love this place. My wife and I chose to raise our girls here, and I want District 5 to thrive for the next generation just like it did for ours."

Let's talk.
