She said she enjoyed serving, but wanted to focus on future business ventures.
Ms. Gaines, who previously was legislative administrator to the County Commission, said, "After careful consideration, I have made the decision not to stand for re-election to the Chattanooga City Council this March. This choice was an extremely difficult one, balanced between my dedication to service to our great city and the need to concentrate on current and future business ventures.
"Representing the citizens of District Nine and Chattanooga has been the most rewarding professional experience of my life. I am forever grateful to all those I have had the honor to serve.
"I would be remiss if I did not thank all my supporters and residents for standing by me these last two years. Special thanks to my colleagues on the City Council and Mayor Ron Littlefield for their guidance, support, and most importantly, their friendship. I trust that our work together has had a positive impact on the city of Chattanooga."
