Chris Long Announces Candidacy for Chattanooga Mayor:
Restoring Accountability, Public Safety, and the American Dream!
CHATTANOOGA, TN – Chris Long, a proven leader and steadfast advocate for conservative values, proudly announces his Republican candidacy for Mayor of Chattanooga. With a clear vision for accountability, economic prosperity, and restoring public safety, Long is committed to uniting the city, protecting its future, and ensuring every resident has the opportunity to achieve the American dream.
“Chattanooga is at a breaking point,” Long said. “For too long, crime, wasteful spending, and a lack of leadership have divided us and held our city back. It’s time to restore law and order, strengthen families, and hold everyone accountable for building a safer, stronger Chattanooga.”
Strengthening
Public Safety
and Protecting
Our City
Chris Long firmly believes that public safety is non-negotiable. He will work to ensure our police department has the tools, staffing, and leadership to do their jobs effectively. Long also takes a firm stance on addressing illegal immigration and its impact on our community.
“Those who enter this country illegally and commit crimes have no place in Chattanooga,” Long said. “I will support policies to ensure illegal immigrants who break the law are swiftly deported. Chattanooga’s citizens deserve safety and security in their neighborhoods, not policies that allow criminals to harm law-abiding families.”
Long also emphasized accountability at the local level, calling on parents to take responsibility for their children’s actions.
“Parents play a critical role in the safety and future of our city. We need to work together to build stronger families, hold parents accountable, and ensure that our youth have guidance, structure, and opportunities to succeed. It starts at home.”
Promoting Economic Prosperity and Fiscal Responsibility
Chris Long’s vision for Chattanooga centers on restoring economic opportunity for every resident. He is committed to cutting red tape, reducing unnecessary spending, and fostering a business-friendly environment that creates jobs and strengthens the local economy.
“We cannot tax and spend our way to prosperity,” Long said. “It’s time to prioritize hardworking families, support small businesses, and attract industries that bring good-paying jobs to Chattanooga. We must be responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars and focus on what truly matters—creating a stronger, self-reliant city.”
Bridging the Divide and Restoring American Values
Long also addressed the growing divide in Chattanooga, stressing the importance of unity and shared values to create one Chattanooga that works for everyone.
“For decades, Chattanooga has been split into two cities—those who thrive and those who are left behind,” Long said. “It’s time to change that. We must restore the principles that made this nation great: faith, family, hard work, and personal responsibility. I will fight to ensure that every resident, regardless of their background, has access to opportunity and the chance to succeed.”
A Commitment to Strong, Accountable Leadership
Chris Long’s campaign is grounded in the belief that leadership matters, accountability is essential, and Chattanooga deserves better.
“We need a leader who will stand up for Chattanooga’s families, fight for public safety, and restore prosperity to our city..."
“It’s time to demand accountability—from parents, from government, and from those who harm our communities. I’m ready to step up and bring the leadership this city deserves.”
