“It’s humbling that people would encourage you to serve and we’re certainly open to considering a run for mayor down the road,” said Womack, chief of staff for U.S. Sen. Bob Corker.
State Sen. Andy Berke, D-Chattanooga, is expected to announce his mayoral campaign bid today. He plans a meeting at 11 a.m. at the Chattanooga Theatre Center.
Womack said he and his wife, Katie, had discussions about his potential run for mayor.
“After a lot of soul searching, a few weeks ago Katie and I decided we’re where we need to be for now and I don’t plan to run for mayor next year,” Womack said.
