Proud Of Hometown Boy Turned Global Leader, Bob Corker

  • Thursday, April 16, 2015

Time Magazine has it right.  Not only is Chattanooga’s own U.S. Senator Bob Corker one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World,” but he is probably now the most prominent leader in the history of our city.  

At a time of extreme frustration with Washington and Congress in general, Bob continues to rise above the division and rancor to build consensus and solve big problems.  

I have had the privilege to know most of our national leaders personally over the last 20 years and Senator Corker is absolutely the most intellectually honest and forthright leader in our government today.  

We should all be very proud of our contribution to America in our hometown boy turned global leader…. Senator Bob Corker.
