From the dais, Vice Mayor Jim Shulman’s decisions have shaped the city for five years. After serving as a district councilmember and a councilmember at-large, he moved up to the chamber’s top job when then-Vice Mayor David Briley replaced Mayor Megan Barry when she resigned in spring 2018.
Shulman discusses controversial committee assignments, the gray areas of procedural discretion and his Red Bull consumption during late-night meetings while speaking with the Scene as he seeks reelection. His sole challenger in the Aug. 3 election is term-limited Metro Councilmember Angie Henderson, a chamber colleague who spoke to the Scene ’s Nicole Williams in March. Early voting begins July 14.
