Zoom in: Several high-profile races will determine our area's leaders.
House District 60
Nashville's most interesting legislative race is the District 60 Democratic primary to replace outgoing state Rep. Darren Jernigan.
The race between first-time candidates Tyler Brasher and Shaundelle Brooks divides the local Democrats. Brasher and Brooks each boast endorsements from elected officials as they seek to win the House seat representing parts of Old Hickory, Hermitage and Donelson. Underdog John Parrish is also on the ballot.
Brooks has been a leading gun control activist in Tennessee ever since her son died in the Waffle House mass shooting in 2018.
She's backed by state Rep. Justin Jones, Sen. Heidi Campbell and former Councilmember Jeff Syracuse, among others.
Brasher banks on hyper-local connections to groups like the Donelson-Hermitage Neighborhood Alliance and the Donelson-Hermitage Chamber of Commerce to fuel his campaign.
Councilmember Jordan Huffman manages Brasher's campaign, which also has received endorsements from state Rep. Bo Mitchell and Metro Councilmembers Olivia Hill and Jeff Gregg, among others.
Chad Bobo and Christopher Huff face off in the Republican primary.
