Bob Corker's House

Bob Corker is the junior Republican senator from the state of Tennessee who lives in this beautiful home. Corker owns this home, known as the Anne Haven Mansion, which was originally built by Anne Lupton and Frank Harrison, heirs to the Coca-Cola Bottling Company. Corker served as a United States Senator from Tennessee from 2007 to 2019. A member of the Republican Party, he served as Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2015 to 2019.

In 1978, Corker founded a construction company, which he sold in 1990 for a tidy sum. This increased his net worth to $45 million, though there is not much published about how much he is currently worth. It is likely given Corkers business acumen, he has grown this fund over the years. In 1994, Corker ran for U.S. Senate election in Tennessee, but was defeated in the Republican primary by future Senate majority leader Bill Frist. Appointed by Governor Don Sundquist, Corker served as Commissioner of Finance and Administration for the State of Tennessee from 1995 to 1996, preceded by David Manning and succeeded by John Ferguson. He later acquired two of the largest real estate companies in Chattanooga, Tennessee, before being elected the 71st Mayor of Chattanooga in 2000, where he served one term.

In 2006 U.S. Senate election in Tennessee Corker defeated Democratic U.S. Representative Harold Ford, Jr. in the general election, with 51% of the vote. Eventually, in 2012 Corker was reelected, defeating Democrat Mark E. Clayton, 65% to 30%. On September 26, 2017, Corker announced that he would not seek reelection in 2018; Republican U.S. Representative Marsha Blackburn was elected to succeed him. Corker has since retired. Corkers career has been controversial, with some questionable decision making. Regardless of how you feel about the work Corker accomplished with a US representative, he nonetheless remains a dedicated public service who gave many of his best years to the service of Tennessee.
