Jenni Berz Is An Experienced, Dedicated, Effective Leader

  • Tuesday, February 18, 2025

I have had the privilege of working with Jenni Berz in multiple capacities over the past five years, and I can say with confidence that she is an experienced, dedicated and effective leader. Her lifelong commitment to service, conflict resolution, and community engagement makes her the best choice to represent District 6 on the Chattanooga City Council.

Jenni’s leadership was recognized by the City Council when they selected her from a pool of candidates to fill the District 6 seat after the passing of her mother, longtime Councilwoman Carol Berz. That appointment wasn’t just an honor—it was a testament to the respect she has earned and the confidence her colleagues have in her ability to lead. With their endorsement for the full term, it’s clear that Jenni is the right person to continue this work.

As the owner of Private Dispute Resolution Services, Jenni has spent years helping people find solutions to complex challenges. She has led initiatives in family court, developed programs for women’s economic empowerment, and served on numerous boards focused on economic development, justice, and public health. A proven leader with integrity and vision, she has been a driving force behind efforts to strengthen District 6, working through organizations like MidTown Connect and the Mayor’s Council for Women to foster meaningful progress.

Jenni understands District 6 like few others do. She has been engaged in its progress for years and is ready to step up on day one to continue that work with thoughtfulness and effectiveness. Voters in District 6 deserve a leader who can deliver results—and Jenni is exactly that person.

I encourage all in District 6 to vote for Jenni Berz in the Chattanooga City Council election on March 4 or during early voting, which runs through Feb. 27. District 6 will be in great hands with her leadership.
