Jim Cooper, pictured above, didn't put too much effort into this year's bid for re-election, that's probably because every other time he's run for office he has smashed his opponents and run away with monumental victories.
It was no different in 2008, as Cooper parlayed his personality, police-career presence, and direct approach on the council into a successful bid for his third term in office.
Challenger LaWanna Montgomery was trying to take down Cooper for the second time; she lost in 2004 when Cooper nabbed more than 17,000 votes than Montgomery did. This time around, it was closer....because there were only two candidates in the race.
In 2008, Cooper received 20,432 votes. Montgomery received 14,689 votes.
