The first thing I want to do is say thank you. The people of Nashville did this, and for that we are all very thankful. It is a night for thanks and a night for celebration. But most importantly a night for unity. In a few minutes I will be back on stage to present the new vice mayor and members of the council who are here.
Government is a partnership.
That partnership will be visible here in a few minutes. The most important partnership is with the people of Nashville. That's why I know we will have good schools. I know we will have safe neighborhoods. I know we will have a quality of life shared by everyone in this city.
