Clifton David Briley (born January 8, 1964) is an American public servant for the city of Nashville, Tennessee. A Democrat, he was the eighth mayor of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County.[1][2] He was elected in 2015 as vice-mayor and was sworn in as acting mayor after Megan Barry's resignation on March 6, 2018. Briley went on to win the May 24 special election for the balance of Barry's term with 55% of the vote over nearly a dozen challengers, avoiding a runoff and making him the official mayor of Nashville. John Cooper defeated Briley in the 2019 Nashville mayoral election.[3] Briley was the first native of both Nashville and Tennessee since Bill Boner in 1991 to be mayor.

Key Information

Education

[edit]

Briley is a lifelong Nashvillian, and his grandfather Beverly Briley was the first elected mayor of Metropolitan Nashville.[4] His early education included Glendale Elementary School, Lipscomb Middle School, and Montgomery Bell Academy.[5]

Briley earned a bachelor's degree from Georgetown University in 1987[6] before traveling to Latin America where he volunteered as a teacher of English. He completed his JD at Golden Gate University in 1995[6] and received honors for administrative and environmental law.

Political career

[edit]

Briley was elected to serve as an At Large Metro Councilman for Davidson County from 1999 to 2007. He was the Vice-Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee and held seats on the Personnel, Public Information, Human Relations and Housing Committee, the Traffic and Parking Committee and the Greenways Committee. He was past Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee on Solid Waste and the Water Rate Oversight Committee.

Briley was voted Best Council Member by the Nashville Scene in 2001, 2002 and 2006 and was spotlighted as one of "40 under 40" by Business Nashville magazine in June 2000.

During the 2000 presidential election, Briley was a Tennessee state co-chair of GoreNet.[7] GoreNet was a group that supported the Al Gore campaign with a focus on grassroots and online organizing as well as hosting small dollar donor events.[8]

In November 2006, Briley announced his candidacy for Mayor of Nashville. His campaign included a number of familiar political faces, including Will Cheek Jr., member of the Democratic National Committee and former chair of the Tennessee Democratic Party, and his son, Will Cheek III, an attorney at the firm of Bone McAllester Norton. Jerry Martin, who served at Finance Director under Congressman Jim Cooper in 2002, chaired the campaign's finance committee. Emily Passini was campaign manager; Drew Staniewski was deputy campaign manager. Sarah Lingo was finance director and Alex Youn was director of field operations. Briley finished fifth in the August 2007 election and returned to private life.

In 2015, Briley was elected Vice Mayor of Nashville. On March 6, 2018, Mayor Megan Barry resigned her position after pleading guilty to felony theft in a plea bargain regarding improper use of public funds for travel expenses and an affair with the head of her security,[9] leaving the Vice Mayor to fill the position.[10] Briley was sworn in as acting mayor of Metro Nashville.[4][11]

Within a week of his acceding to the office, Briley announced both his intent to run for the remaining year of Barry's term in the Nashville mayoral election, which was initially set for August 2, 2018 by the Davidson County Election Commission,[12] but subsequently moved to May 2018 after a lawsuit filed by opponents was successful, and a plan to demolish the abandoned Herschel Greer Stadium, former home of the Nashville Sounds minor league baseball team. Greer Stadium was on the grounds of Civil War Fort Negley, and Briley announced a plan to leave the area as undeveloped, natural park space, in part out of respect to the many slaves and former slaves who worked on the construction of Fort Negley, several of whom died in the process and whose remains are buried on the grounds.[13][14] Briley also continued the mayor's office's support of the Let's Move Nashville transit referendum, signing a "Declaration of Transportation Independence" on April 2.[15] Briley's support seemingly meant little to the transit referendum, which was defeated by over a three-to-two majority on May 1, 2018,[citation needed] but apparently his support did little to dampen his personal popularity, as he was elected by an absolute majority to the balance of Berry's unexpired term in a special election only three weeks later over a dozen opponents, all of whom had expressed opposition to the transit initiative.[16]

Briley campaigned for re-election as Mayor of Metropolitan Nashville in the 2019 Nashville mayoral election. In the election's first round, John Cooper led Briley 35% to 25% as both advanced to a runoff election in the 10-candidate race, followed by Vanderbilt University professor Carol M. Swain and Tennessee House of Representatives member John Ray Clemmons.[17][18] In the runoff, Briley was defeated by Cooper by approximately 70% to 30%.[3] Cooper then succeeded Briley as Mayor of Nashville when he was sworn in on September 28, 2019.[1][19][20]

Judicial Service

[edit]

Briley was elected as the Division I Circuit Court Judge for Davidson County, Tennessee in August 2022. [21]


Contributions

[edit]

In 2005, Briley proposed citywide wireless Internet access for Nashville. Received coolly by the administration, Briley's proposal nonetheless contributed to the development of free wireless access at Davidson County's public libraries as well as many public parks, including Centennial Park.[22] A task force, led by Briley and including council members and representatives from technology and infrastructure providers, ultimately supported this narrower public access. In 2006, Briley was one of a small number of vocal opponents to proposed development which would have moved the city's AAA baseball team, the Nashville Sounds, into downtown Nashville. This proposed development, adjacent to Nashville's Riverfront Park along the Cumberland River, was eventually cancelled and later replaced by a plan for a new stadium located slightly north of downtown Nashville, First Tennessee Park.[23]

In 2007, Briley wrote legislation requiring government buildings in Nashville to be built within LEED certification requirements.

Personal life

[edit]

Briley is married to Jodie Bell and has one son. He is the grandson of Beverly Briley, first mayor of the combined Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. His brother, Rob Briley, has previously served as a Tennessee State Representative for the 52nd District.[24]

Briley has been a practicing lawyer and was a member of Bone McAllester Norton PLLC prior to becoming mayor and having to wind up his legal practice; unlike his former position of vice mayor, being Mayor of Nashville is a full-time occupation. After his defeat for a full term, Briley returned to his previous position at Bone McAllester Norton until being elected to Circuit Court.

from Grokipedia
Clifton David Briley is an American attorney, politician, and judge who served as the seventh mayor of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County from March 2018 to September 2019. A member of the Democratic Party and grandson of Beverly Briley, the first Metro Nashville mayor, he ascended to the mayoralty as acting mayor following the resignation of Megan Barry amid an affair scandal involving her security chief. Previously, Briley held positions as an at-large member of the Nashville Metro Council from 1999 to 2007 and as vice mayor from 2015 to 2018, winning a special mayoral election in May 2018 before becoming the first incumbent Metro Nashville mayor to lose re-election in a general election to John Cooper in September 2019. Since September 2022, he has served as a judge in Division I of the Tennessee 20th Judicial District Circuit Court in Davidson County, following a legal career focused on litigation. An eighth-generation Nashvillian educated at Georgetown University and Golden Gate University School of Law, Briley's tenure as mayor emphasized efforts to address equity and reduce racial disparities in education, housing, and socioeconomic outcomes.

Early Life and Education

Early Life

Clifton David Briley was born on January 8, 1964, at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. He is the son of Cliff Briley and the grandson of Beverly Briley, who served as the first mayor of the newly consolidated Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County from 1963 to 1975. Briley grew up in Nashville alongside his brother Rob, uncle William Briley, and aunt Diane Easterling, but his immediate family showed little interest in politics beyond the legacy of his grandfather. Beverly Briley retired from office when David was 11 years old and died of in 1980, by which time David was 16; David maintained a closer relationship with his grandmother, who predeceased Beverly by six months. Though the Briley family name endures locally through Briley Parkway—a major highway named for Beverly—David's childhood did not emphasize political dynasties or deep involvement in public service.

Education and Early Career

Briley attended for high school. He earned a degree from in 1987. In 1995, he received a degree with honors from School of Law. Following law school, Briley was admitted to the bar in 1995 and began his professional career as a civil attorney in Nashville, focusing on , products liability, commercial litigation, and cases. He practiced at a law firm initially shared with his brother before joining Bone McAllester Norton PLLC, where he handled plaintiff-side civil matters until entering public service on the Metropolitan Council in 1999.

Political Career Prior to Mayoralty

Metro Council Service

David Briley was elected to an seat on the Nashville Metropolitan Council on September 9, 1999, alongside Howard Gentry. He served two terms as a councilman from 1999 to 2007. During his tenure, Briley focused on reforms, notably leading the passage of the council's current rules. These measures established the Board of Ethical Conduct and mandated financial disclosure forms for council members to enhance transparency and . His efforts in this area were highlighted in later profiles as a key contribution to Metro Nashville's legislative standards. Briley did not seek reelection to the council in 2007, instead pursuing the mayoralty.

Vice Mayoral Role

David Briley was elected vice mayor of Nashville on August 6, 2015, defeating Metro Councilman Tim Garrett with a decisive margin in the citywide election. He assumed the position shortly thereafter, serving until March 2018. In this role, Briley presided over meetings of the 40-member Metropolitan Council, acting as its presiding officer and casting votes only to break ties on . Briley expanded the traditionally ceremonial duties of the vice mayoral office by engaging directly in policy debates and serving as an informal arbiter on council matters. For instance, he waded into discussions on regulating short-term rentals, a contentious issue involving housing availability and neighborhood impacts in Nashville's growing tourism economy. He also recommended the selection of two Memphis-based law firms to a special council committee investigating Barry's use of taxpayer funds for personal travel, demonstrating his involvement in oversight processes despite the office's limited formal powers. Throughout his approximately two-and-a-half-year tenure, Briley's approach emphasized straightforward governance and progressive priorities, though specific legislative outcomes tied directly to his tie-breaking authority were limited, as he did not cast deciding votes on major controversial bills. His service positioned him as a stabilizing figure within the council amid Nashville's rapid and urban challenges.

Mayoral Tenure

Ascension and 2018 Special Election

Vice Mayor David Briley ascended to the position of mayor of , on March 6, 2018, following the resignation of Mayor earlier that day. Barry had pleaded guilty to felony theft under $1,000, admitting to unauthorized use of city funds to cover expenses related to her extramarital affair with former sergeant Robert Forrest, her former security chief. Briley, who had served as vice mayor since 2015, was sworn in as acting mayor by Metro Clerk Tommy Lynch shortly after 5 p.m. at the Metropolitan Courthouse, with Metro Council approving the succession per the city's charter, which designates the vice mayor as successor in case of vacancy. Briley announced his candidacy for the special election to complete Barry's term on March 8, 2018, emphasizing continuity in administration and focus on fiscal stability amid the scandal's fallout. The election, required by law to fill the remainder of the term ending in 2019, was scheduled for May 24, 2018, with a potential runoff on June 14 if no candidate secured a . Briley's platform highlighted , public safety, and infrastructure, drawing endorsements from business leaders and Democratic allies, while facing criticism from conservative challengers like education professor Carol Swain over issues such as property tax increases and urban development policies. In the special election, Briley secured victory outright, receiving 54.1% of the vote (approximately 33,000 votes) against 12 opponents, thus avoiding a runoff. Swain finished second with 23.9%, followed by others including businessman David Fox with 8.1%. was about 14% of registered voters, with Briley's win attributed to strong support in urban and Democratic-leaning precincts, as well as his incumbency advantage during the brief interim period. This outcome allowed Briley to serve out the term without immediate electoral challenge, though it set the stage for a full-term contest in 2019.

Key Policies and Initiatives

During his tenure as mayor of Nashville from March 2018 to September 2019, David Briley prioritized initiatives addressing shortages, , public safety, and urban infrastructure amid the city's rapid growth. His administration emphasized leveraging public funds to attract private investment and forming advisory councils to guide policy implementation. A flagship policy was the Under One Roof 2029 initiative, announced on March 26, 2019, which committed $500 million over ten years to develop at least 10,000 new units for low- and middle-income residents. This included $350 million allocated to the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency for subsidies and incentives, aiming to leverage an additional $250 million in private funding through tax credits and partnerships. Briley also advanced anti-homelessness measures, including a commitment to add 100 units of permanent downtown via a request for proposals closing June 21, 2019, and support for the Planning Council, which correlated with a 14% decrease in the annual point-in-time homeless count and a 10% increase in federal funding. Public safety efforts featured Project Safe Nashville, an interagency program launched to reduce through coordinated enforcement and prevention. In transportation, Briley advocated for expanded mass transit funding, including support for a $5.3 billion referendum plan that failed in May 2018, and pledged increased budgeting for WeGo Public Transit after an $8 million cut in the prior fiscal year. Environmental initiatives included Root Nashville, a campaign to plant 500,000 trees by 2050 to enhance urban canopy coverage. Economically, he secured a Major League Soccer stadium deal with a Community Benefits Agreement and a 30-year lease renewal for the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena, structured to minimize taxpayer liability.

Fiscal Management and Administrative Decisions

Upon assuming the mayoral office on March 6, 2018, following Megan Barry's resignation, David Briley inherited a projected $34 million shortfall for the 2018-19 and proposed a $2.23 billion operating representing a modest $22 million increase over the prior year. This plan eliminated cost-of-living adjustments for city employees to address the deficit, while allocating $8.5 million for salary increments and open-range adjustments, and committing to no increase by drawing on targeted savings and supplemental appropriations from the previous year. The proposal fell $40 million short of Metro Nashville Public Schools' funding request but prioritized fiscal restraint amid fund balances below 5% of expenditures. For the 2019-20 , Briley submitted a $2.33 billion operating on May 1, 2019, marking a 4.55% increase over the current and emphasizing public safety enhancements, employee pay raises, and an additional $28.2 million for schools despite their $76.7 million ask. The Metro Council adopted this plan on June 18, 2019, after rejecting a rival proposal for a 49.8-cent hike that would have generated $154 million in new . Briley reiterated his opposition to increases, directing departments to identify internal savings in response to state comptroller inquiries about Metro's financial practices. Briley's administration also advanced capital improvements, proposing $351.1 million for projects including and facilities, subject to review. On September 19, 2018, he established a (TIF) Study and Formulating Committee via ordinance to evaluate funding mechanisms. In July 2019, the administration paused a $325 million public-private with LAZ to privatize and upgrade street parking operations, citing concerns over long-term fiscal implications. These measures reflected a strategy of conservative budgeting without enhancements, prioritizing operational efficiencies over expansionary spending.

Controversies and Criticisms

Public Safety and Policing Reforms

In response to concerns over racial disparities in Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) traffic stops, Mayor Briley endorsed a 2018 report by the Tennessee Coalition to End Opioid Overdose, which attributed differences in search rates—Blacks searched at twice the rate of whites despite lower contraband hit rates—to implicit bias, despite MNPD Chief Steve Anderson disputing the methodology and claiming it overlooked contextual factors like crime patterns. Following a November 2018 analysis by the Policing Project finding traffic stops ineffective for reducing crime, Briley advocated delaying major reforms to allow for further data collection and departmental input rather than immediate changes. In August 2018, amid scrutiny of use-of-force incidents, he announced a comprehensive review of MNPD practices, inviting external collaboration with the Policing Project to address community concerns without specifying timelines or outcomes. Briley expressed theoretical support for enhanced civilian oversight of police but voiced reservations about a 2018 proposal expanding the Community Oversight Board, citing potential overreach into operational decisions. He clashed publicly with Republican state leaders in February 2019 over limits on oversight authority, defending Nashville's approach as balanced while rejecting claims of anti- sentiment. Policing-related budget decisions drew sharp criticism from the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), which accused Briley of enacting a $2 million cut to MNPD's 2019-2020 budget and failing to fund a promised 6.4% pay increase for new recruits, arguing these moves strained and retention amid rising demands. Briley's office countered that the budget provided a 3% cost-of-living adjustment for all officers, open-range and step pay progression, and overall spending growth of 4.55%, but without hikes due to fiscal constraints from prior administrations. The FOP warned of an impending public safety crisis, claiming underfunding risked officer morale and response capabilities, though city records showed criminal homicides dropped 24% in 2018 from 2017 levels.

Budget Shortfalls and Employee Relations

During his interim mayoralty in 2018, David Briley inherited a $34 million shortfall for the 2018-2019, prompting a proposed $2.23 billion operating that eliminated cost-of-living adjustments () for Metro Nashville employees while preserving merit-based and step increases totaling $8.5 million. This decision, amid dwindling reserves and no hike, drew widespread employee backlash, with members reporting an influx of emails and calls from disgruntled workers urging restoration of raises. The also allocated $40 million less than requested for Metro Schools, exacerbating tensions over . In March 2019, facing ongoing fiscal pressures, Briley announced a 3% COLA for all Metro employees effective July 1, incorporated into his $2.33 billion proposal for fiscal year 2019-2020—a 4.55% increase over the prior year without a tax hike. This included targeted boosts for public safety, such as open-range and step pay for police in response to Fraternal Order of Police critiques labeling earlier allocations as insufficient, though Briley's office defended the package as balanced amid a "tight" outlook. The budget relied on $41.5 million in nonrecurring funds, including parking deals and asset sales, to fund raises and a $28.2 million school increase, but drew state Comptroller scrutiny over long-term sustainability. Metro Council rejected a substitute plan for a 49.8-cent property tax rise—opposed by Briley as unnecessary—by one vote, adopting his version and averting deeper cuts but highlighting divides over employee compensation versus fiscal restraint. These shortfalls strained employee relations, particularly in public safety; staffing shortages persisted due to budget constraints, forcing operational shifts, while police unions publicly contested pay equity. Briley's avoidance of tax increases maintained the lowest rate in Metro history—set in 2017—prioritizing affordability but contributing to reliance on one-time revenues that masked structural deficits, as later analyses noted.

Electoral Defeat and Policy Disputes

In the August 1, 2019, Nashville mayoral election, incumbent David Briley advanced to a September runoff against Metro Councilman John Cooper after neither secured a majority of the vote. On September 12, 2019, Cooper defeated Briley in the runoff by a margin of 69% to 31%, becoming the first challenger to unseat an incumbent mayor in modern Metro Nashville history. Briley conceded shortly after polls closed, acknowledging the electorate's desire for change. Briley's defeat stemmed from voter frustration with his perceived lack of decisive action amid Nashville's rapid , which strained , , and public services. Cooper's platform, emphasizing fiscal restraint, reduced downtown-centric development, and neighborhood investments, contrasted with Briley's continuation of predecessor Megan Barry's priorities, including large-scale projects tainted by scandal and cost overruns. Critics, including local observers, noted Briley's short tenure as a caretaker administration failed to deliver urgent reforms, alienating voters seeking stronger leadership on affordability and congestion. A prominent policy dispute fueling opposition was Briley's August 29, 2019, executive order directing Metro attorneys to lobby the Tennessee legislature for repeal of the state's ban on sanctuary city policies, a move decried as executive overreach and defiance of state law prohibiting local non-cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Metro Council member Steve Glover filed suit against the order on September 6, 2019, arguing it diverted resources from core city functions and risked state funding cuts. The directive, issued amid Tennessee's HB 2315 restricting sanctuary practices, amplified perceptions of Briley prioritizing progressive immigration stances over pragmatic governance, contributing to his electoral vulnerability; Cooper rescinded it on October 16, 2019, upon assuming office. Additional tensions arose over Briley's handling of budget projections showing multimillion-dollar shortfalls and resistance to tax hikes for schools, which opponents framed as inadequate fiscal planning amid rising demands.)

Judicial Career

2022 Election and Judicial Role

In July 2021, former Nashville Mayor David Briley announced his candidacy for Division I of the Davidson County Circuit Court, seeking to succeed retiring Judge Hamilton Gayden in Tennessee's 20th Judicial District. Briley, a Democrat with prior experience as a and Metro Council attorney, emphasized his legal background and commitment to fair during the campaign. Briley secured the Democratic primary nomination on May 3, 2022, defeating opponents in a contest that highlighted his transition from executive to judicial office. He then won the general election on August 4, 2022, in the heavily Democratic Davidson County, assuming office on September 1, 2022. As judge of Division I, , Briley presides over civil and criminal cases of general jurisdiction, including torts, contracts, felonies, and appeals from lower courts such as General Sessions and . The 20th Judicial District encompasses Davidson County, where circuit judges handle a docket that includes high-volume litigation reflective of Nashville's growth in population and economic activity. His tenure has focused on efficient case management, though specific rulings or notable decisions as of 2025 remain limited in public record due to the role's emphasis on rather than .

Personal Life

Family Background

David Briley was born on January 8, 1964, at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, to parents Cliff Briley and Jeannine Briley. Briley's paternal grandfather, Beverly Briley, served as the first mayor of the consolidated Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County from 1963 to 1975, establishing a prominent family legacy in local politics. Beverly Briley died in 1980, with his wife predeceasing him by six months. Briley has a younger brother, Rob Briley, who served as a Tennessee state representative and Metro Council member. The family also includes an uncle, William Briley, and an aunt, Diane Easterling. Briley married Jodie Bell, an attorney, whom he met while both lived in ; the couple relocated to Nashville together. They have one son, Sam Briley.

Post-Political Activities

Following his defeat in the September , Briley returned to private legal practice, rejoining the Nashville-based firm Bone McAllester Norton PLLC on October 30, 2019, where he had been a partner prior to his vice mayoral role. In this capacity, he focused on areas such as real estate, business transactions, and government relations, leveraging his experience. Briley maintained involvement in community-oriented legal work during this period, including representing clients in and civic projects aligned with the firm's commitments, though specific cases tied to him post-2019 remain limited in public documentation.
