Trying to make Nashville a better place for everyone.

I spent a lot of time talking today to folks who are disappointed or angry or numb. Many of them are online here. Thank you for being there for me today. It might not seem like it today, but we’ll continue to fight for what we believe in and for each other.

.@KamalaHarris was my first favorite before the primary field narrowed — it’s FANTASTIC to see her on the ticket!!
.@JoeBiden can unify the American people because he's spent his life fighting for us. And as president, he'll build an America that lives up to our ideals. I'm honored to join him as our party's nominee for Vice President, and do what it takes to make him our Commander-in-Chief.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best

Yesterday, a number of people shockingly comfortable publicly identifying themselves as white nationalists marched through Nashville. My first priority in this moment—as always—was the safety of Nashvillians.

CM @JacobKupin4D19 will host a community meeting on 2/29, the Council East Bank Committee led by Chair @SeanForFive will meet on 3/4, and 2nd reading will be on 3/19. Over the next few weeks, we'll release more info & explainers about the proposed Fallon/TPAC deals.
@mendesbob Can we get a classic Bob Mendes blog post to explain the 99-year Fallon lease to us common folk without JD's? I know you're in a tough spot bc since you negotiated it there may be stuff that's borderline NDA, which could make it a pain to write an article.

This is sad news. Judge Dinkins was always generous in sharing his time and wisdom. I liked how he would respond to a request for advice by telling a story that told you what to do without telling you what to do. He will be missed.

My son spent nearly an hour in a closet today huddled with 20 other kids as a police helicopter circled overhead, sirens wailed outside, and SWAT teams searched the building. It’s a broken world that’s been built for them….
