Primary 2023: The Mayoral Challengers

A trio of candidates looks to buck recent history and unseat incumbent Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon.

Not surprisingly, Indya Kincannon is running on her record in her bid for re-election as Knoxville’s mayor.

At Tuesday’s forum, the four candidates for Knoxville mayor grappled with the city’s top issue heading into this month’s primary.

A majority of Power Poll members predicted incumbents in the Knoxville city primary would finish first in their races, with one exception.

With less than two months to go before the city primary, some candidates are flush with cash while others have only just begun to raise money.

Indya Kincannon received the support of those living closest to the center of the city in her election as Knoxville’s next mayor.

The former school board chair attributed her victory on Tuesday to a message that resonated with city voters.

Mayoral hopefuls Indya Kincannon and Eddie Mannis stressed building relationships during the final scheduled candidate forum.

As the campaign hits the homestretch, the city’s two mayoral hopefuls engaged voters in a contrasting pair of Q&A sessions.

The city’s mayoral candidates take different tacks on how they would implement the new zoning ordinance after taking office.
