纳什维尔临时警长之争：乔伊纳与欧文角逐，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（Jared Irvine）。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; Metro Council Votes November 17
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 is leaving for the private sector after 24 years in office; his last day was October 19. Hall had just won a seventh term unopposed in August, and his departure requires the council to appoint an interim successor promptly. After a month-long nomination period, two candidates remain: Chief Deputy Ruby Joyner and former lieutenant Jared Irvine.
Joyner has served as acting sheriff since Hall's departure, and Hall has lobbied council members to appoint her. Irvine nominated himself for the appointment in a letter filed with the Metropolitan Clerk's Office on October 22. Both candidates must first appear before the council's Rules, Confirmations and Public Elections Committee on November 10. Whoever is appointed must run in next year's election to serve out the remainder of Hall's term.
