Karen Chambers appointed to fill Cobb County Commission District 4, Post 2 vacancy

The Cobb County legislative body appointed Karen Chambers to fill the vacancy for District 4, Post 2 for the term expiring Aug. 31, 2026. The chair followed Tennessee law in soliciting nominations from the audience; Commissioner Kimplin nominated Chambers and she answered required statutory questions on the record. The chair read the required Tennessee Code Annotated questions from T.C.A. (see meeting transcript), and Chambers answered that she is 18 or older, a resident of the Fourth District for over a year, a qualified voter of the district and not holding another countywide office. Commissioners then conducted a roll‑call vote; the motion to appoint carried and the clerk recorded the appointment. The CLB thanked commissioners for nominations and publicly congratulated Chambers on her appointment.
