The days are ticking down to Chattanooga’s mayoral and council election day.
Now your opportunity to vote is just Monday and a wake-up away.
Two weeks ago, we endorsed Monty Bruell for mayor, citing his heart, his drive for equity and his fresh ideas – especially for CARTA transportation which, if reimagined and free, would be a huge opportunity leveler in the city.
We also noted that the city would be in good hands with any of these four of our 15 mayoral candidates: Bruell, Wade Hinton, Tim Kelly and Kim White. We’ve come to refine that list to Bruell, Hinton and Kelly. Each – especially Bruell – could put our city on the right track in this post-pandemic climb out of hardship.
The big question, we still believe, is which track is that right track: Equity, affordable housing, an infrastructure that builds on accessibility, police retraining and repurposing? Or simply development and tourism?
