CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) Chattanooga has sworn in Tim Kelly as its new mayor, replacing Andy Berke.
After hitting his term limits, Berke handed over control of the government to Kelly during a ceremony Monday.
In a runoff election last week, Kelly defeated Kim White to win a four-year term as mayor.
Kelly is a former auto dealership owner and he co-founded Chattanooga Brewing Company.
He has declared himself a member of the “Chattanooga Party” and said he voted against Donald Trump for president, breaking with Republicans.
He offered a unifying message Monday, saying the city can meet its challenges as one Chattanooga.
