On Friday, the Athens, Tenn., dairy executive announced Paul K. Brock Jr. will serve as Hamilton County finance committee chairman for Mayfield’s congressional campaign.
Brock is an investment executive with a long history in Chattanooga.
Mayfield is one of four Republicans challenging U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann in Tennessee’s 3rd Congressional District, which includes Chattanooga, Oak Ridge and numerous rural East Tennessee counties.
“I think Chuck has worked hard — I just happen to think Scottie brings a skill set that will allow him to have more impact in Washington,” said Brock, a longtime Republican donor who gave $250 to Fleischmann in 2010, according to Federal Election Commission records.
