Former executive of AllianceBernstein, Jim Gingrich, announced Monday that he is suspending his campaign for Nashville mayor, just three days after early voting began.
I cannot express my appreciation and gratitude enough to every supporter.
I am going to take some time out of the public eye to focus on my family and continue as a public servant through my nonprofit involvement.
Thank you all for an opportunity of a lifetime. pic.twitter.com/hHpNMQvocV

“After deciding what was best for my family, how to honor my campaign team, respect every single supporter we have gained, and in consultation with the electoral data available, we have decided to put the best interest of the Nashvillians first and allow voters to rally behind another candidate,” Gingrich said in his statement.
Gingrich is the Chief Operating Officer at Alliance Bernstein and played a major role in bringing its headquarters to Nashville from New York City in 2018.
“I entered this race on a mission to change the trajectory of our city, how it manages its finances, and generate a conversation about what type of leadership our city deserves,” Gingrich said.”To every single person who gave a penny of their hard-earned money or a second of their precious time, thank you for believing in a better Nashville. After speaking to Nashvillians across the city, I can say with confidence that the conversation has been started.”
Gingrich concluded with stating that he will now take some time out of the public eye to focus on his family while continuing to serve through nonprofit involvement.
