Come meet Shelby County Mayoral Candidate Melvin Burgess — committed to building Shelby County for the next generation! Don’t miss us TONIGHT at Privé Memphis (6980 Wi******er Rd, Memphis TN 38115) from 5–8PM for the Grambling State University Alumni Meet & Greet, then continue the celebration at our HQ Grand Opening this weekend. All are welcome — bring a friend! melvinburgess.com

Saturday, March 28th, we open the doors to Burgess Campaign HQ — but before we get there, let's talk about WHY this race matters and WHO is truly ready to lead. 👇
✅ Public Safety — Melvin Burgess has a concrete plan: fund a new Shelby County Jail, fully resource our courts and law enforcement, and build community-based liaisons that actually prevent crime BEFORE it happens.
✅ Neighborhoods — Over 8,000 blighted properties in our county. Burgess will tackle blight head-on — fixing infrastructure, enforcing property standards, and putting people back to work doing it.
✅ Economy — Shelby County deserves an economy that works for EVERYONE. Burgess will drive job creation, accountability, and put residents first — not just developers.
✅ Education — Strong schools build strong futures. Burgess will fight for equitable per-pupil funding and community-led solutions so every child in Shelby County has a real shot.
And this isn't talk — this is a canidate who got the most votes of ANY partisan county-wide race in 2022, was named 2021 Tennessee Assessor of the Year (the first African American to receive that honor), and has been serving this community for over 40 years. 💪
Safer. Stronger. Smarter. Shelby County.
That's not a slogan. That's a promise.
