Chaney describes herself as a community advocate and preservationist who is focused on what she calls people-first leadership and local accountability. In her campaign message, Chaney says she wants government to be more responsive to residents rather than “powerful special interests,” and she emphasizes values of hard work, fairness, and respect for community.
Chaney’s platform highlights efforts to protect local communities from environmental harm, promote responsible use of taxpayer dollars, and invest in long-term stability for families across Chattooga and Floyd counties.
