In this week’s On the Ballot, Shelby County Sheriff Floyd Bonner says he’s prepared to move to Memphis should he run for mayor. And the African-American Clergy Collective of Tennessee is calling on voters to support a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would ban slavery for those convicted of a crime. 

Early voting begins Wednesday, Oct. 19, and The Daily Memphian’s election coverage will be free through Nov. 9. 

Shelby County Sheriff Floyd Bonner, who currently lives in Bartlett, says he will decide this month on a bid for Memphis Mayor on the October 2023 city ballot.
