Shelby County elected a new mayor, sheriff and school board members back in August, and we’re now just a week away from the federal and state midterms.
Alongside that election, voters in Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, Lakeland and Millington will also be going to the polls to decide local races for aldermen, commissioners and mayors.
Today, suburbs editor Clay Bailey is here to talk about some of the contested races on the ballot and some candidates to watch.
Watch the interview below.
