We’re proud of you, Nashville. You took the polls by storm to make your voice heard on Election Day.
If you didn’t stay up to wait for the results, we’re sharing the big takeaways of the Nov. 5 election, sourced from the Davidson County Election Commission’s unofficial results with 100% of precincts reported.
Transit plan pushes forward
Nashvillians voted for Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s $3.1 billion “Choose How You Move” transit plan, which proposed a half-cent sales tax increase estimated to cost the average Nashville family ~$70 per year. Now that we’ve passed “go,” you can expect more on this later.
US Senate + House of Representatives
Incumbent Marsha Blackburn secured the most votes at over half, maintaining her position in the US Senate and representing Tennessee for a second term.
US House of Representatives District 5, 6, and 7 were on the ballot — see the results.
Tennessee Senate + House of Representatives
Other races included Tennessee Senate District 20 and 10 Tennessee House of Representatives districts, all of which represent at least a portion of Davidson County. Check out Davidson County Election Commission’s website for the total number of votes for each candidate.
