Mr. Hester said, “I am concerned about the challenges facing District 5. There will be a negative impact for all of Hamilton County if these challenges are not adequately addressed by the commission. I have spoken with many citizens of District 5 and they share the same concerns. This community needs an informed, enthusiastic leader with a vision who will actively represent all the needs of District 5 and balance those needs with the overall vision for Chattanooga and Hamilton County.”
