2023 Nashville mayoral election

The 2023 Nashville mayoral election took place on August 3, 2023, with a runoff on September 14 because no candidate surpassed 50% of the vote in the general election. It selected the next mayor of Nashville, Tennessee. Incumbent mayor John Cooper did not seek re-election to a second term in office. While mayoral elections in Nashville are officially nonpartisan, Cooper is a member of the Democratic Party.[1]

Mayor before election

John Cooper
Democratic

Elected Mayor

Freddie O'Connell
Democratic

A wide field of candidates ran to succeed Cooper, with Democratic metro councilmember Freddie O'Connell and Republican political consultant Alice Rolli advancing to the runoff. Candidates eliminated in the general election included former city official Matt Wiltshire, state senators Heidi Campbell and Jeff Yarbro, and at-large metro councilmember Sharon Hurt.

O'Connell is considered one of the more progressive figures in Nashville politics, and is known for his vocal opposition to the use of public funds to build the Nissan Stadium.[2] Rolli is a businesswoman who has worked for numerous prominent Tennessee Republicans in the past, including governor Bill Haslam and U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander.[3]

Rolli was considered an underdog in the runoff due to her status as a Republican in a heavily Democratic city. In the 60 years since the city of Nashville was consolidated with Davidson County in 1963, it has never elected a Republican mayor.[3] Democrat Joe Biden won the city with 64% of the vote in the 2020 presidential election.[4]

As expected, O'Connell won the runoff in a landslide, becoming the 10th mayor of metro Nashville.[5]
