School board member to run for Shelby County Commission
Shelby County Schools board member Althea Greene announced Wednesday, Dec. 15, she is running for the Shelby County Commission seat now held by Tami Sawyer. “I grew up in this area. I remember when there was a post office down the street plus a movie theater with a bank with a drug store,” said Greene. (Bill Dries/Daily Memphian)
Althea Greene opened her bid for the District 7 commission seat by saying Tennessee’s new open carry gun law is meant to increase violence and killings. Candidates can begin pulling and filing qualifying petitions in the May primaries, including the commission races, starting Monday.
