Hamilton County mayoral candidate Weston Wamp on Friday continued to defend himself against allegations that his supporters have stooped to negative attacks – saying that County Commission Chairwoman Sabrena Smedley has been saying negative things about her opponents all along.
“Today, Sabrena, she launched the third ad attacking me, an ad made by a production company based in Hollywood, California,” Wamp said in a statement. “Sabrena started her campaign by attacking me for who my father is. That continued today.”
Wamp is the son of former Congressman Zach Wamp. A third candidate in the Republican primary on May 3, businessman Matt Hullander, is the son of county Trustee Bill Hullander.
It’s not clear which advertisement by Smedley Wamp was criticizing on Friday, but she posted one on her Facebook page sounding many of the themes she has emphasized throughout the campaign.
“I’m Sabrena Smedley, the only one running for county mayor with a lick of experience in doing the job,” she said in the ad. “That’s what Hamilton County needs, not political sons trying to expand the family business.”
