Meet Chaney Mosley

Chaney Mosley has spent his life bringing people together to learn, work, and build stronger communities.

A lifelong agricultural educator, veteran, and national leader in career and technical education (CTE), Chaney is running for Congress to ensure every Tennessean has the tools to succeed — whether in the classroom, the workforce, or the community.

As the past President of the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), Chaney represented over 29,000 members nationwide, advocating for innovation and opportunity in schools and workplaces across the country. His work has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and in USA Today, and his publications, workshops, and policy efforts have helped young people build futures in agriculture across Tennessee.

Today, Chaney serves as an agriculture professor at Middle Tennessee State University. With more than two decades of leadership experience, he has designed programs that prepare future educators, expanded career pathways for students, and built partnerships that align education with the needs of a modern workforce.

Chaney’s commitment to service extends beyond the classroom. After enlisting in the U.S. Army in September 2001, he went on to serve 15 years, including time in the Tennessee Army National Guard. His years in uniform shaped his belief that leadership is not about words; it's about action, about honor, and about putting people above politics.

Raised in a small town by a single mother after the death of his father, Chaney understands grit, perseverance, and the value of community. Those lessons guide him today as a proud husband and father of three. He knows firsthand that families in Tennessee want leaders who will protect freedom of expression, support working families, strengthen education, safeguard democracy, and build an economy that works for everyone.

Chaney believes in something simple but powerful: One District, Many Futures. Whether you live in a rural town, a growing suburb, or the heart of Nashville, your voice deserves to be heard and your future deserves to be protected.

That’s the kind of leadership Chaney Mosley will bring to Congress.
