Most of the nine Chattanooga City Council members say they want to stay in their posts and plan to run in the March 2013 city election.
One exception is District 8 Councilman Andraé McGary, who is running in the Democratic primary for state Senate.
And District 4 Councilman Jack Benson still is making up his mind. With 11 years on the council, the 82-year-old former principal and teacher is the senior member. Benson said he is feeling good and believes he could make another run for the office.
“Presently, I am,” he said. “I could change my mind.”
