iVoters videos

iVoters.com created a series of video responses from Nashville’s 2015 mayoral candidates. In the videos, each candidate answers two questions; they have 60 seconds to respond and may not speak about other candidates or campaigns in their answer. The two questions are:

• 1) What is the biggest obstacle facing Nashville today?
• 2) What would you do to make Nashville a better place to live?

iVoters posted a video of Kane's response to question two on July 31, 2015:

Campaign themes

2015

Kane's website highlighted the following campaign themes:

Live

• Excerpt: "Nashville is a city of neighborhoods. As mayor, I will build a Nashville where each of our neighborhoods is more than just where we live but places that reflect our people and character and embrace the best we all have to offer."

Learn

• Excerpt: " If you live in the right neighborhood, attend the right school and have the right skills, well-paying jobs, affordable homes and great schools are available. But for too many in Nashville, that’s not their reality. Every Nashvillian has something special to contribute if given the chance. As mayor, I will make the investments and secure the partnerships just like I did at LEAD to make sure every child in every neighborhood has that chance."

Work

• Excerpt: "A thriving, 21st century Nashville requires significant investments in infrastructure, innovation and international connections. As mayor, I will invest in more than just growing economically. I will invest in your job, your family and your future."

Contribute

• Excerpt: "We are a better city when we face the tests before us with leadership, compassion and a belief in the goodness of each other."
