NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Metro Council member Michael Craddock has decided to withdraw from the Mayor's race. He said in a statement released Thursday that he was unable to raise enough funds.
"I can't express enough my thanks to the thousands of Nashvillians who have encouraged me to run for Mayor. To the volunteers who have poured their respective heart and soul into my campaign, I humbly say thank you," said Craddock.
Craddock said he will return his focus to his family and business. He also said he will continue to support the Fairgrounds.
He will end his eight years of service on Metro Council in August. He currently is the councilman for the 4th District.
