This Is Nashville

Mayoral forum with Freddie O'Connell and Alice Rolli

Listen Later

Our city is about to choose a new mayor, and election day is less than two weeks away — Thursday, September 14th.

Freddie O’Connell and Alice Rolli are the finalists in a race that many consider one of the most pivotal in Nashville’s history. On Aug. 23, Meharry Medical College and the Urban League of Middle Tennessee hosted a virtual mayoral forum in partnership with WPLN and the Tennessee Lookout.

Today we’ll bring you a special broadcast of the forum, which focused on historically underserved communities.

Guests:

  • Freddie O'Connell, candidate for mayor

  • Alice Rolli, candidate for mayor

  • Ronald Roberts, moderator

  • Dr. James Hildreth, president and CEO of Meharry Medical College

    • This episode was produced by Steve Haruch. Special thanks to Michelle Steele, Kenneth Morris, Holly McCall, Casey Newcomer and Marjorie Pomeroy-Wallace.
