Campaign themes
2015
Fox's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
The Best-Educated City in the South
- Excerpt: "David believes all of Nashville’s children can learn and succeed if our leaders feel the same urgency for the educational needs of other people’s children as they do for their own."
Infrastructure for a Growing City
- Excerpt: "“The Nashville Way” is all about not becoming the next Atlanta or L.A. when it comes to traffic, sprawl and the loss of our Southern small-town feel."
Holding Down Debt & Taxes
- Excerpt: "The big projects we’ve built recently have added over a billion dollars to our debt. Add $3 billion in unfunded government employee pension and healthcare costs and you see the problem."
Keeping Our City Safe
- Excerpt: "During this campaign, David and his team have talked with thousands of voters. The most eye-opening thing has been the concern people have expressed about crime."
