This Is Nashville

What to know about the 2023 race for Nashville mayor

Listen Later

When Mayor John Cooper announced that he will not seek re-election this fall, it triggered a bevy of hopeful candidates – some local household names, some relatively unknown – to launch their own mayoral campaigns.

In this episode, we invite a panel of local journalists to break down what this race will look like, who’s running and what it could mean for Nashville.

But first, WPLN midday news producer Cynthia Abrams joins us to discuss why the Tennessee legislature is considering a TikTok ban at state colleges and universities.

Guests:

  • Cassandra Stephenson, The Tennessean metro reporter

  • Steve Cavendish, Nashville Banner president and editor

  • Rosetta Miller Perry, founder and publisher of The Tennessee Tribune
