Property manager Brad Wardlaw is running to challenge incumbent Hamilton County Commissioner Chip Baker, R-Signal Mountain.
The County Commission District 2 seat represents an area encompassing Signal Mountain and Walden, and stretches as far as Mowbray Mountain.
Wardlaw, 45, lives with his wife and two children near the Falling Water area in unincorporated Hamilton County. He’s lived in the area for over a decade, and he was born and raised in Hixson near Dallas Bay.
Wardlaw has bachelor’s degrees in business administration and human resource management from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He manages about a dozen rental properties he owns in the county and occasionally does renovation work on them. His campaign finance records were not available in time for publication.
