From time to time, I feel it's important to update the public as to what organizations and activities I particiapte in. I do this, because I feel I have an implied duty to do so. Take a look, if interested in knowing more, feel free to reach out anytime.


Public Office

Sullivan County Board of Education (District 5 Representative):

Presently, I serve on the Sullivan County Board of Education, representing District 5. Email me, or message my website if I can be of service, especially if you live in the 5th BOE District.






Veterans Service

American Legion Department of Tennessee Commander:

I currently serve as the Department (State) Commander of the American Legion Department of Tennessee. Take a look at the links below to learn more about what we're working on, but especially reach out if interested in joining.





Civic Projects

Host of the Northeast Tennessee Community Roundtable:

This is a revamp of my old Veterans Coffee Roundtable, the reason I've decided to revamp the name was I feel many outside Veteran Service Organization circles didn't know the public was invited, not just Veterans. Also, I want to make this a true civics meeting with a simple format that will hopefully grow and one that doesn't trade on the name Veteran.


Since retiring the Veterans Coffee Roundtable name last year, I've had dozens of people ask me if I'm going to restart it, or do something else. Well, I'm doing something similar but I'm looking to expand the reach and make civic life important again, which necessitated the name change.










Show Host

Host of the Todd McKinley Commentary:

I'm likely going to be dusting off the podcast I hosted from 2020 to 2024 and will look to interview local and state candidates in the Volunteer State for the 2026 election.









Host of Todd Talks:

I'm also looking to dust off this podcast as well, which has been a brief podcast I hosted in 2002 and again 2004 and was more of a topic driven and at times question and answer show.









The Common Sense Conservatives:

The Common Sense Conservatives is a Radio, Podcast, Social Media, and Streaming Show, (Live every Wednesday from 7 to 9 PM Eastern). "We make sense of the inverted reality we are subject to every day, The Common Sense Conservatives are here to help bring you back to reality…..Hosts, Chris Wyatt, Todd McKinley, and John Grosvenor."
