Former Nashville Mayor Megan Barry is actively exploring a run for Congress, according to the Nashville Post. The paper reports that Barry has confirmed to another news source that she is considering a race against Rep. Mark Green, R-Clarksville, for the Seventh District seat. Barry resigned as mayor in 2018 amid a scandal involving her security chief. Barry’s political career started in 2007 when she won one of Nashville’s five at-large councilmember seats. She won a second term in 2011. She ran for mayor in 2015, beating her opponent by 10 percentage points.
