田纳西州纳什维尔两名候选人角逐临时警长 市议会11月17日投票
田纳西州戴维森县纳什维尔市消息，纳什维尔市议会将于11月17日投票选出戴维森县近25年来的首位新警长。原警长达伦·霍尔上月宣布离任，转往私营部门，结束24年任期，其最后工作日为10月19日。霍尔今年8月无对手竞选连任，赢得第七个任期，离任决定令市议会须尽快选出临时接任者。
经过一个月的提名期，目前有两名临时警长候选人：首席副警长鲁比·乔伊纳和前中尉贾里德·欧文。两人须先于11月10日接受市议会规则、确认与公共选举委员会的面试，向部分议员陈述竞选理由，再由全体议员在11月17日会议上投票，任命案列为当日议程第一项。获任命者明年须自行参选，才能继续履行霍尔剩余任期。市议会此次任命将填补霍尔离任后留下的空缺，临时警长上任后将领导县警长办公室直至选举产生正式接任者。
Two Candidates Vie to Be Nashville's Interim Sheriff; Council Votes November 17
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville's Metro Council will vote on November 17 to choose Davidson County's first new sheriff in nearly 25 years. Sheriff Daron Hall announced last month that he was leaving for the private sector, ending a 24-year tenure; his last day was October 19. Hall had won a seventh term unopposed in August, and his departure left the council to select an interim successor quickly.
After a month-long nomination period, two candidates are seeking the interim post: Chief Deputy Ruby Joyner and former lieutenant Jared Irvine. Both will be interviewed on November 10 by the council's Rules, Confirmations and Public Elections Committee before the full council votes at its November 17 meeting, where the appointment is the first item on the agenda. Whoever is appointed must run for election next year to serve out the remainder of Hall's term. The appointee will lead the sheriff's office until voters elect a permanent successor.
