Hamilton County Democratic Party Vice-Chairman Sean Nix Considering District 11 County Commission Race

  • Friday, December 17, 2021

Hamilton County Democratic Party Vice-Chairman Sean Nix announced his exploratory campaign for County Commission in a video posted to his official Facebook page early Friday morning.

“In the coming days and weeks, I will be speaking directly with our community stakeholders to
ensure that the newly created District 11 will emerge as a community replicated throughout
Hamilton County. ” Mr. Nix said.

District 11 is one of the two new districts formed by the Hamilton County Commission due to the
once-in-a-decade process of redistricting. The new district 11 covers the area from Navajo Drive in
Brainerd to Wilcox Road in Lookout Valley.

Mr. Nix is a Chattanooga native and has spent his life in the district. He is a former executive
committeeman for the local NAACP and a former Hamilton County middle school educator. His
platform of opportunity for all, safe neighborhoods, and 21st-century public education are reflected
in his campaign slogan, “Progress, Forward.”

He said, “With your imagination and determination, we are on the pathway to progress, pushing forward to a powerful and inclusive great society.”

“That is why I am announcing my exploratory campaign in seeking the office of Hamilton County
District 11 Commissioner.”

The primary election for countywide offices takes place on May 3rd, 2022. Voters can check their
