The daughter of City Councilwoman Carol Berz, who died unexpectedly last Wednesday, has picked up papers to run for her District 6 seat and set a press conference on Wednesday morning.

Jenni Berz has long worked with her mother in a mediation firm.

Officials of her campaign said, "With the election commission filing deadline approaching less than a week from her mother Councilwoman Carol Berz’s recent, unexpected passing, Jenni Berz will make a major announcement concerning the campaign for city of Chattanooga City Council District 6. Members of the media are invited to the official announcement by Jenni Berz and the Moving Forward Together campaign."

It will be at 10 a.m. at the Family Justice Center, 5705 Uptain Road.

Carol Berz had recently announced that she would be seeking another four-year term, and she thus far had no opposition.

Four others have now picked up for the race, though no one has yet qualified.

They are Jennifer Gregory, Christian Siler, Cherie Thompson and Robert C. Wilson.
