Matt Wiltshire, a longtime Metro Nashville government official, made his campaign for mayor official this morning, the Nashville Post reports. Wiltshire had stepped down from his position as chief strategy officer at the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency earlier this year to consider a run. Before joining the agency, he was director of the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Community Development under then-Mayors Karl Dean, Megan Barry and David Briley, and spent 15 years in investment banking. He joins Metro Council Member Freddie O’Connell in the race. Mayor John Cooper has not formally announced a reelection bid, and nonprofit executive Hal Cato says he could join the race later this summer.
