The 2017 Chattanooga mayoral election was held on March 7, 2017, to elect the mayor of Chattanooga. Incumbent Democratic Mayor Andy Berke easily won his re-election against City Councilman Larry Grohn, former City Councilman David Crockett, and businessman Chris Long.[2][3][4] All Chattanooga municipal elections are required to be non-partisan, but each candidate was affiliated with a political party. Larry and Crockett were aligned with the Republican Party.[5][6]
Andy Berke won a majority of the vote in the initial round, so no runoff election was needed. This election took place alongside other 2017 Chattanooga Elections, including races for City Council. Berke was sworn in to his second term on April 18, 2017.[7] Template:Elections in Tennessee sidebar
