Chemical engineer Tim Gorman is running for Chattanooga City Council District 2 to help families and small businesses.
Gorman, a 23-year resident of Chattanooga and father to Tennessee Congressional candidate Meg Gorman, said he decided to run for the seat being vacated by Councilman Jerry Mitchell after watching the COVID-19 pandemic develop.
“What we’ve seen this last year with COVID is all the tears in the fabric of society are readily visible. And it took COVID to make it very obvious to a lot of folks, and I’ll be honest, it made it much more obvious to me,” Gorman said Tuesday. “It made the shortcomings that we have in taking care of each other very evident, and I thought it was time to do something. So I figured this would be my best opportunity to help Chattanooga out.”
