The Tennessee Conservative [By Jason Vaughn] –
District 7 Hamilton County Commissioner and Chair Sabrena Smedley has filed the necessary documents to run for Hamilton County Mayor in 2022.
With Smedley now seeking the role of County Mayor, the choices for Hamilton County voters in 2022 has now increased to three with Matt Hullander and Weston Wamp also running.
Following Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger’s announcement on October 20th that he will not seek reelection in 2022, Smedley was approached by numerous people encouraging her to run for the office.
Smedley said, “I am honored and humbled that so many folks reached out and asked me to consider this important leadership position.”
Smedley has chosen Shawn Whitfield to serve as her political treasurer should she be elected.
