Ken Smith Thanks Supporters

Monday, March 11, 2013

I am honored and humbled beyond words to be elected as the next District 3 representative on the City Council. It has been a long road, and I would like to thank all of our volunteers and supporters for their tireless work on my campaign. The outpouring of support and confidence you have shown in me helped make this day possible.  For this, I will always be grateful. 

Yes, I am truly blessed to have this opportunity. Chattanooga is a special city – one that we proudly call home and where we raise our families.  As I’ve walked door to door, residents and business owners raised concerns about rising crime, crumbling roads, higher taxes and wasteful spending. These issues are real, and as your next council member, these concerns will be my top priorities.

Again, thank you for your support and belief in my vision on how we can make Chattanooga a better place for us all.  I ask that you keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers as we work together to make a positive difference in our community.  I am your public servant and look forward to being your voice and advocate on the City Council.  

Ken Smith
District 3 City Councilman Elect

I find it fitting that it was reported as a “new pact” and the perks received by the state and county although increased still doesn’t come close to the $6.20 that goes to the well-connected people of EnviroTest. The ... (click for more)
