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 life, personal and/or life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Wilson adventured for the whole of the human race. Not as a servant, but as a champion. So pure was this motive, so unflecked with anything that his worst enemies could find, except the mildest and most excusable, a personal vanity, practically the minimum to be human, that in a sense his adventure is that of humanity itself. In Wilson, the whole of mankind breaks camp, sets out from home and wrestles with the universe and its gods.”
—William Bolitho (1890–1930)
“Today brings the sad, glad tidings that Mrs. Abraham Lincoln has passed from that darkness which had fallen upon her path through this life, out into the light and joy of that life toward which her vision has so long been strained.
Modern education is lethal to children.... We stuff them with mathematics, we pummel them with science, and we use them up before their time.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
