Nonprofit CEO Hal Cato will not be in the field competing to be Nashville’s next mayor, the Nashville Post and Nashville Banner report. Cato, who left his post at Thistle Farms to consider a challenge to Mayor John Cooper, said he had “decided that I am not the right next leader for our metropolitan government.” Still in the race are Council Member Freddie O’Connell and former investment banker and Economic Development leader Matt Wiltshire. Others said to be considering a run are State Rep. Bob Freeman, Council Member Sharon Hurt, former AllianceBernstein COO Jim Gingrich and entrepreneur Quincy McKnight.
