D-4 represents the eastern part of Nashville-Davidson County that includes Donelson, Hermitage and Old Hickory. The district encompasses Metro Council Districts 11 ( @larryhagar ) 12 ( @Erinfor12 ) 14 ( @kevinrhoten ) & 15 ( @SyracuseMetro15 ) - more on D4: https://www.mnps.org/district-4 ">https://www.mnps.org/district-... \

The reason this seat is on the ballot is that former board chair Anna Shepherd passed away in June. Metro Council appointed @BerthenaforMNPS. This special election will allow the victor to serve through 2022.

While so much attention is on the presidential race, local races are important. @MetroSchools already struggled with challenges in funding, uneven academic gains and historic inequities. #COVID19 exacerbated those problems esp. since most kids are still doing virtual learning. \
