TennesseeTicket.com founder and former Pulse and Chattarati contributor Joe Lance has just picked up qualifying papers to enter the Chattanooga mayoral race. In a brief statement, Joe explains his decision:
"After much observation and careful consideration, I have decided that the best way to encourage my fellow citizens to get involved in our local government is by asking them to allow me the honor of serving them as our next Mayor. I love the city of Chattanooga and believe that the best way to build on its recent successes, and to make this an even greater city for all of its residents and visitors, is to involve as many willing participants as possible in defining what we're doing next—and in doing it. The opportunities are many more than one person can manage alone, and I look forward to working toward them together."
We'll have more information as it becomes available.

I could think of noone better to run for Mayor. Better start hanging out at ZarZours and Niedlov's if you wanna act like a Chattanooga politician.
