I was thinking that maybe this could dent his re-election prospects. But wait! Look at who the Dems are running against him, Megan Barry, disgraced former mayor of Nashville.
From Wiki:
On January 31, 2018, Barry admitted that she had conducted a two-year long extramarital affair with Nashville Police Sergeant Robert Forrest Jr., the married officer in charge of her security detail, which included extended business trips with just the two of them.[38] Additionally, Barry was the first mayor of Metro Nashville’s government to have created and used a security detail. Forrest and Barry attended various events and activities which included late-night concerts and yoga classes, during which Forrest accrued hundreds of overtime hours.[39] Barry maintained that Forrest was not her direct subordinate,[40] and said that she did not want to "muddy the #metoo movement."[41]
Forrest, two weeks prior to Barry's announcement, filed for retirement from his post as supervisor of mayoral security effective on January 31, the same day Barry admitted to the affair, thus ending his 31-year career with the Nashville Police Department.[42][43]
In March 2018, Barry entered into a plea agreement that required her resignation.[33] On February 23, 2018, Forrest's wife of nearly 30 years, Penny, filed for divorce on grounds of "inappropriate marital conduct" soon after the extramarital affair came to light.[44] Forrest and Barry, both of whom had no criminal record prior to the affair, pleaded guilty to felony theft.[45][46] As part of the plea deal, they were ordered to pay restitution ($11,000 for Barry and $45,000 for Forrest) to the city and complete three years of probation. Both Forrest and Barry can petition to have their convictions wiped off their record if they successfully complete their probation.[43] As of August 2018, Barry and her husband remain married and have continued to attend events together
