John Kerns Deserves Support In District 9

  • Friday, March 3, 2017
I've been a resident of Chattanooga for the past 4 years.   I moved here from Knoxville and fell in love with this city due to its fast-paced growth and exciting urban development projects. That being said I would like to publicly share my support for John Kerns and his candidacy for Chattanooga City Council in District 9.

I met and befriended John several months ago and I can tell you it doesn't take long to see that he's exactly the kind of leader that Chattanooga needs.
Those close to him know his passion for his community. That passion along with his unique quality of being a listener first will make him a welcome new face and mind on city council.


His years of experience in business is a testament to the values he would uphold as an elected official. John is a successful entrepreneur that has created numerous jobs within his district. He's been at the forefront of talking about closing Chattanooga's opportunity gaps by investing in post-secondary training and early childhood education within the neighborhoods that most need these resources.

This election presents District 9 with a unique opportunity to elect an innovative, thoughtful, and, most importantly, effective change agent.  If you haven’t followed his campaign, you should take the time to do so.  I know you'll find that John Kerns is worthy of your vote and support.
