NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Political newcomer Karl Dean was elected mayor over former Congressman Bob Clement in Nashville's runoff election.
According to unofficial returns, Dean had 51,491 votes to 47,388 for Clement with 100 percent of the vote counted in the nonpartisan election. Clement conceded the race 70 minutes after the polls closed Tuesday.
The new mayor succeeds Bill Purcell, who did not seek re-election after serving two four-year terms.
