LETTER TO VISITORS
Dear Neighbor,
My race for City Council is because I love Chattanooga and care
deeply about the direction that our neighborhoods and small businesses are
heading. There have been successes in recent years, but much can
still be accomplished. Quality of life issues like community
policing, convenient public transportation, smart growth, and protection of
green spaces are essential to a healthy, vibrant community.
District 6 is widespread and has more precincts (ten) than any
other district. It encompasses some 11,500 registered voters in a
geographical area spreading from Missionary Ridge Tunnel down Brainerd Road
and Lee Highway through the Airport precincts, and out East Brainerd
Road through Brainerd Hills and Concord 3 and up Hickory Valley Road
through Tyner and ends at Bonny Oaks Drive.
Community is a main emphasis of my campaign. District 6 has
been my home for over 45 years, and I have a deep love of our City and our
neighborhoods. I grew up in Chattanooga, attended Chattanooga public
schools and the University of Chattanooga and have long been interested in
and involved with activities for our City. Civic, community, and
musical activities have always had a place in my life--among which have
been Moccasin Bend Girl Scout Council (at the time Camp Adahi
went from being a dream to becoming a reality), ProReBona
Day Nursery, Junior Kosmos Woman's Club, Beta
Sigma Phi sorority, Chambliss Children's Home, Chattanooga Swim League,
Chattanooga Track Club, Chattanooga Bar Association Auxiliary, Chattanooga
Bach Choir, Chattanooga Mocs Club, the RBI Club
for UTC Girls' Softball, Chattanooga Music Club, Chattanooga Opera
Association, Scenic City Chorale of Alexian-Senior
Neighbors, St. Matthew's Night Shelter, the Metropolitan Ministry Board and
the Belvoir Neighborhood Association. I also sing in the Master
Chorale for UTC. Many of these
activities included Board membership plus participatory activities
connected thereto.
My work history includes a long-term employee for Senior
Neighbors of Chattanooga as bookkeeper and Portable Meals Counselor for a
total of over 20 years. Other work history includes TVA, Executive
Secretary to the President and Assistant Treasurer for Tennessee Blue
Cross-Blue Shield, and Office Manager for United Fund (now United
Way).
Christ Episcopal Church is where I am an active communicant
and choir member, as well as serving as cantor and lector.
Chattanoogans deserve affordable,
quality housing for renters and buyers, as well as increased emphasis on
job training for our citizens. We have made great strides in the past
with our walking and bicycling trails, parks and waterways for our
residents to enjoy, but they can never be too safe or too clean---and we
need to emphasize the need for everyone to do their part in keeping them
both safe and clean.
I am excited about being your next councilperson; but I need
your help and your vote to be there for you. Please join me in
working to make Chattanooga a better place to be, and District 6 the place
to live!

COUNCIL - District 6 - on February 5

All the Best,

COMMENTS FROM
OTHERS
ABOUT BARBARA KELLEY:
"She's the star of the six candidates for
District 6.”
"Well done, Barbara!! I'm so glad you are going to
run, and it is great that someone with your integrity, intelligence, and
commitment is prepared to serve Chattanooga as a City Councilor. I
will definitely vote for you. Thank you for standing up to be
counted."
"I never align myself with a political party, but I am
absolutely delighted to align myself publicly with someone who wants to be
a public servant and run for elected office: Barbara Kelley. There is
one great reason why she is absolutely perfect for this position at
this time: Barbara is a person of character. We need people with integrity
and courage. I have known Barbara for some time, and she has
absolutely unquestioned integrity, absolutely unquestioned courage."

an excellent City Councilor. Best of luck."
"Barbara, this is
a good decision on your part. You will be elected and you will do a wonderful
job for our beautiful city; of that I have no doubt."
"Barbara, I wish
you well. The City of Chattanooga needs an informed, steadying
influence on our council!"
"Barbara, I
believe you will bring a great perspective and enthusiasm that will be a
great benefit to the city. I have my fingers crossed for you."
"Barbara, I admire
your sense of duty and commitment to making Chattanooga a better place
to live and work. Clearly you have my support."
"It seems so rare
to see people of real intelligence and level headed perspective involved in
politics, and yet it is a calling which cries out for the very grounded 'common sense' you,
Barbara, have displayed in your life in Chattanooga. I congratulate you on your
decision to contribute your substantial talents to the greater good and I
can only hope that the voters of District Six have the good sense
to vote you in."
"You can count on
my support, Barbara. Good luck."
