Davis got 39 percent of the vote and Murray got 37 percent, which puts them head to head in the runoff. Eaton received 19 percent and Bryson 5 percent. District 6 In District 6, the outcome was difficult to predict. There were five candidates on the ballot to take over for the well-liked Mike Jameson, who served two terms and was term limited. Peter Westerholm, Dave Rich, and Hans Schmidt were the frontrunners and all did well at the election forum held at St. Annâ€™s Episcopal Church in June. Longtime neighborhood activist Bob Borzak suffered a brain hemorrhage shortly after announcing his council run and Morelia Cuevas pulled out of the race, but not until after her name was already on the ballot. Westerholm will face Rich in the runoff election on Sept. 15. District 6â€™s boundaries are south of Main Street and east of Gallatin Road. The northern boundary is Straightway and Carter. The boundary to the east and south is the Cumberland River. District 6â€™s business district includes Five Points, as well as Shelby Street, Woodland Street and Main Street/Gallatin Road. Westerholm led all votegetters with 40 percent leading to a runoff against Rich, who had 31 percent of the vote. Schmidt had 23 percent, Borzak had 4 percent and Cuevas got 2 percent. District 7 The fight over Erik Coleâ€™s seat in District 7 led to a clear winner. Cole served eight years and was term limited. Business owner Anthony Davis faced retired policeman Randy Reed and Stephen Downs, and received just enough votes to win. The boundaries of District 7 are north of Straightway past Briley Parkway, staying east of Gallatin Road and bordered by the Cumberland River. Besides Gallatin Road, the main business district inside District 7 is Riverside Village. Davis got 51 percent of the vote and will be the next councilman for District 7, taking over for Cole. Reed got 38 percent of the vote and Downs had 11 percent. Whatâ€™s next? In the Aug. 4 general election, only 1,475 voters cast a ballot in District 5 and only 2,268 voted in District 6. With the turnout so low, an even lower turnout is anticipated for the runoff election. The candidates who can turn out their votes will be the victors. The East Nashvillian urges all voters in Districts 5 and 6 to cast their ballot in the runoff election, to ensure the best leadership possible for the neighborhood.
