Ethics complaint filed against Metro Nashville Councilman Rollin Horton

Rollin Horton

WSMV, Nov. 25, 2025- The Voices of District 20, a group formed to recall Councilmember Rollin Horton, filed a complaint with the Metro Board of Ethical Conduct on November 20. ... The Voices of District 20 shared a copy of the criminal complaint it alleges to have mailed to the DA’s office. In it, the group accuses Councilman Horton of harassment, stalking and civil rights intimidation.

“His conduct - targeting recall petitions through doxxing, repeated communications, and misuse of police - intends to annoy, alarm, frighten, or offend, constituting harassment (Class A misdemeanor). The repeated, coordinated targeting potentially qualifies as stalking. Most critically, it coerces residents from exercising First Amendment rights to petition, violating civil rights intimidation laws.”

... The clerk provided a copy of the ethics complaint to WSMV. In it, Chris Remke, Rachel Gladstone and Lauren Magli, all representatives of the Voices of District 20 group, claim, “Councilmember Horton has engaged in a sustained campaign of intimidation, harassment, doxxing, and interference targeting residents of District 20, particularly those involved in a lawful recall petition effort against him. This conduct has created a climate of fear, suppressing civic participation and chilling support for the recall.” (link)
