The 2019 Nashville mayoral election took place on August 1, 2019, to elect the mayor of Nashville, Tennessee. Incumbent Democratic Mayor David Briley, who succeeded Megan Barry following her resignation and won a special election to fill the remainder of her term, ran for re-election.[2] In the August election, Briley came in second behind city councilman John Cooper; however, no candidate took more than 50 percent of the vote, forcing a runoff between Cooper and Briley on September 12, 2019.[3] Cooper won the runoff definitively with 69 percent of the vote.[4]
All Nashville municipal elections are required to be non-partisan, but candidates can be affiliated with a political party.
