Personal Life
Zach and his wife Kim have been married for 26 years and have a son Weston Wamp, a small businessman in Chattanooga, and a daughter, Coty, a law student at the University of Tennessee. In 2012, Weston attempted to win his father's old seat from incumbent Chuck Fleischmann, but lost in the Republican primary.
In April 2003, the Associated Press reported that Wamp was one of six congressman living at C Street Center, a Capitol Hill townhouse subsidized by The Family, a national Christian organization. On July 10, 2009, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported that Wamp admitted in an interview that he and his fellow residents at C Street all pledged that they won't talk about their private living arrangements, adding that he intends to honor that pledge. When Rachel Maddow reported the story on her show, Wamp complained, but the Knoxville News Sentinel reported that Wamp didn't call them to correct his comment. Maddow responded strongly to Wamp's complaints on air.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“... while one-half of the people of the United States are robbed of their inherent right of personal representation in this freest country on the face of the globe, it is idle for us to expect that the men who thus rob women will not rob each other as individuals, corporations and Government.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Every life and every childhood is filled with frustrations; we cannot imagine it otherwise, for even the best mother cannot satisfy all her child’s wishes and needs. It is not the suffering caused by frustration, however, that leads to emotional illness, but rather the fact that the child is forbidden by the parents to experience and articulate this suffering, the pain felt at being wounded.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)
