Chattanooga Needs Tim Kelly

  • Thursday, January 28, 2021

Our city deserves a strong leader and an experienced enterprise manager who can navigate a crisis. As Chattanooga continues to grow we need a visionary, a tireless champion who can represent the city in its entirety.

We need a leader who knows education is key to raising all boats, and who knows the future must support healthy initiatives for our diverse population.

Our next leader must know that access to well-connected public transportation is imperative to get people to jobs.

We have a record field of candidates to pick from. At the front of the pack, however, it’s clear to me the most prepared and viable candidate is Tim Kelly. If you look to past achievement as an indicator of future performance, then with Tim Kelly the city’s future shines brightest. He’s ready to hit the ground running in service of all of Chattanooga.

Join me on March 2 to ensure we put our best candidate forward and elect Tim Kelly.
