Re-Elect Judge Sherry Paty

  • Wednesday, April 6, 2022

I am a retired captain from the Chattanooga Fire Department and would like to take this opportunity to submit a personal endorsement for the re-election of my niece, Judge Sherry Paty.

Judge Paty has done an outstanding job as City Court judge. She has consistently served the city of Chattanooga with experience, fairness and integrity for the last 18 years.

Listed below are the names of several of my fellow firefighters who, along with me, hope to see Judge Paty re-elected next month. We encourage all Chattanooga residents to cast their vote for Judge Paty on May 3 (early voting begins April 13).

Eddie Ellison, Chaplain
Randy Parker
Jim Whitmire, Chief Fire Marshall
Robert Mallett, FFS, Station 22
