Elect Oglesby as new City Council member

- Robyn Garner

Please get out and vote in the Chattanoog­a City Council runoff election between Erskine Ogelsby and incumbent Chris Anderson.

As a district resident, I can attest to how much change is needed. We have been plagued by a councilman who would rather serve his own interests than ours. Forget trying to contact him through official channels; he is always too busy. When confronted, it is always a lack of staff. He spends considerab­le time attacking people and starting wars on social media. His behavior is completely unbecoming for a representa­tive of our district, much less the City Council.

If you have a concern that does not match his priorities? Good luck. If he would spend less time blaming his predecesso­r and more time taking responsibi­lity for his actions, he might not be in the runoff. He is in the pocket of Green Tech and completely threw St. Elmo under the bus when it came time to stop CARTA from cutting our bus service.

We need a man who will represent all of the concerns of all residents with dignity and respect. That man is Erskine Ogelsby. Please vote for him and help restore some credibilit­y in District 7.
