“There are three candidates who stood out to me and the entire room,” said DeVante Hill, seen here at a June 7, 2020, George Floyd protest. “Some of the most polished candidates are from Memphis and some are not from Memphis, and that’s all I’m going to say right now.” (Patrick Lantrip/Daily Memphian file)
