Nick Wilkinson Announces Plan to Run for State Senate

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – It looks like Sen. Todd Gardenhire will have some healthy competition, after Nick Wilkinson announced he’s running to represent Tennessee’s 10th District in the State Senate.

Wilkinson will run as a Democratic candidate, against Republican State Sen. Gardenhire. During a press conference this morning, Wilkinson told the crowd he’s running to increase more opportunities for children, to help working families get ahead, and to make sure our voices are heard in Nashville.

“I believe that right now, Nashville is more focused on themselves then they are on the people of this district,” said Wilkinson, “The people of this district want their children to succeed. The people of this district want working families to get ahead. I don’t think we have that in  Nashville right now. It’s time that we make a change.”
