NASHVILLE – House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick, R-Chattanooga, announced Tuesday he will seek re-election to the House District 26 he’s held since 2004.
Calling it a “privilege” to serve the people in the district and “proud” of their encouragement, McCormick pledged to continue focusing on jobs-related issues.
“I hope to keep working on bringing jobs to Southeast Tennessee, and I think I’ve had a small part of having some good things happen,” McCormick said. “We’ve made some great progress, and we need to build on it and keep the momentum going.”
He said the district has had more jobs created and new capital invested than in nearly any other in Tennessee.
