Chip Henderson, a construction business owner, has announced he will seek re-election to the Chattanooga City Council District 1 seat.
District 1 encompasses Lookout Valley, Moccasin Bend, Mountain Creek and portions of Hixson and North Chattanooga.
Chip Henderson“Over the past four years, I have worked hard to bring a strong fiscal conservative approach to city government while advocating for additional funds to increase our public safety efforts that will help make our neighborhoods safer, address long-overdue maintenance of our streets and create needed programs to support veterans who need our help,” Henderson said.
Henderson, who won the seat in a four-way race in 2013, called for increased accountability and transparency in city government and advocated for critical funding of public works, public safety and workforce development.
He cited boosts in the road paving budget and funding of several major paving projects across his district, including Browns Ferry Road and West View Road, among his achievements. Henderson’s announcement also mentioned his votes to fund improvements to Youth and Family Development centers in District 1 and his work with Hamilton County 4 Vets to establish a Veterans Treatment Court.
