Angie Henderson, a Bryn Mawr College graduate, is running for vice mayor in the 2023 Nashville-Davidson County election, writes David Plazas for The Tennessean.

Henderson, who earned a degree in Growth and Structure of Cities at Bryn Mawr, currently serves on Nashville’s Metro Council.

She said she decided to run for vice mayor because she believes the Metro Council needs new leadership.

“The Council – the city’s legislative branch – is addressing increasingly complex matters and policy challenges that face our city,” she said.

“Given all the volatility in Metro’s executive leadership positions over the last few years – multiple mayors, department and division directors – it is especially important that Metro Council strengthen its committee oversight work and keep its eyes on strategic goals and the needs of all Nashvillians.”

During her eight years on the Council, Henderson chaired three committees and managed several complex, county-wide policy efforts. She also has a proven track record of successful work throughout both her district and the city.

“I believe some of my most effective work has been as a voice for legislative oversight and ensuring that our city’s resources are being used wisely,” she added.
