Kevin Rhoten in 2015

Former Metro Councilmember Kevin Rhoten, who this year concluded his second term on the council, is "looking seriously" at running for state House District 60 next year.

The district, which includes Old Hickory and Hermitage, is currently represented by Democratic Rep. Darren Jernigan. Jernigan has been hired by new Mayor Freddie O'Connell to lead the city's state relations, and he said he would serve out the current term but not run for reelection in 2024.
