FEMINIST Nashville Democrat Mayor RESIGNS After Admitting to Theft and Having an Affair with Coworkers

Megan Barry resigned from the office of mayor of Nashville Tuesday morning per conditions of a plea agreement for felony theft charges.



“My time today as mayor concludes. My unwavering love and sincere affection for this city and its great people will never come to an end,” said Barry in a press conference.



Vice Mayor David Briley will be sworn into office at 5 p.m. He will be the eighth mayor of Nashville.



Briley released a statement prior to his appointment as mayor:



“This is a hard day for Nashville. Mayor Barry’s resignation will enable us to regain focus on the important work of our city.



“My pledge is simple: As mayor, I will begin work immediately with a sole focus on managing the city and making progress on community priorities. That work will be transparent and be conducted with every effort to restore public trust, and move our great city forward.”



“Today is primarily about the smooth transition from my administration to that of Vice Mayor. I would be remiss if I did not thank the thousands and thousands of people who have reached out to me,” said Barry.



“God bless this wonderful city, I love you Nashville,” said Barry as she ended her press conference.
