Metro Nashville Council member Freddie O'Connell and Alice Rolli, a member of former Gov. Bill Haslam's administration, will advance to a runoff election on Sept. 14 to determine Nashville’s next mayor. The Tennessean reports that none of the 11 candidates garnered the necessary 50% plus one vote to win the election outright. O'Connell netted just over 27% of the vote while Rolli, a conservative business strategist and former campaign manager, earned 20%. The paper also has a wrap up of results from a number of Metro Council races as well as the race for vice mayor.
