Get to Know Quin

Hi! I’m Quin Evans-Segall, and I am currently running for Metro Council At-Large because Nashville needs an advocate, defender, and problem solver to get us back on the right track.

My tagline is “Quin Never Quits” because I will never stop fighting for the city I grew up in and call home! Nashville is unique and resilient, and we deserve elected officials who have our best interests at heart. It’s time that Nashville’s government starts serving the city in the same way as Nashvillians serve and care for each other. I would love to earn your support.

Quin’s Bio.

Quin Evans Segall, born and raised in Nashville, is an attorney, and advocate with more than 15 years of experience in public finance, real estate, and legislative matters. She currently serves as the Vice Chair for Nashville’s Industrial Development Board (IDB), where she uses her knowledge of infrastructure and finance to focus on how the IDB can help support Nashville’s workforce through housing, childcare, transit, and local business grants. Quin recently co-founded the gun reform coalition Voices for a Safer Tennessee and has been involved in numerous community and non-profit boards over the years, including her neighborhood association’s Steering Committee, where she currently serves as Beautification Chair. Working alongside Metro and her fellow community members, she was instrumental in building and opening her neighborhood’s first pollinator park, Portland Park, this summer. 

Quin is the daughter of two small business owners and grew up in Crieve Hall. Her mom owned her own law practice, and her dad was the President of Evans Glass Company, a three-generational, family business in Nashville. Throughout her life, Quin’s family showed her the value of service to others. Three of Quin’s grandparents spent their careers in the schools and in juvenile probation serving this City’s children, and her Mom spent the early years of her career serving Tennessee farmers by making sure they had access to indoor electricity and plumbing. Quin spent countless hours at the Glass Company as a kid, from joy rides in a spinning office chair to eventual intern and office worker; Quin learned how important small businesses are to this community. She now lives in Belmont-Hillsboro with her husband, Josh, their three kids, and many pets.
