I keep seeing the list of likely candidates for Knoxville Mayor and they keep listing every likely name except the most likely next Mayor of Knoxville. County Commissioner Ivan Harmon came closest to beating former Mayor Victor Ashe. He has served two terms as City Council member. He is finishing his second term as a County Commissioner, both times winning with huge margins.

So, while the list of likely candidates list other likely candidates, they are leaving out the name of the next Mayor of Knoxville.
