Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mike McWherter stopped by Chattanooga on Tuesday at one of two separate and overlapping events for local candidates.
The predominant theme was jobs.
“I’m all about Tennessee first and Tennessee jobs,” Mr. McWherter said at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 175 building in Chattanooga. “It’s time we create jobs in Tennessee.”
Marty Von Schaaf, president of the Republican Hamilton County Pachyderm Club, said Mr. McWherter was late in addressing the issue.
“When did (the Democrats) wake up and realize there was a need for jobs?” he said.
