Shelby County Criminal Court Clerk Heidi Kuhn made her bid for Shelby County mayor official Wednesday, June 11, with a video announcement posted on social media.
“I believe Shelby County is at a pivotal point. Shelby Countians have lost their sense of hope,” she says in the video. “My reason for running is simple – Shelby County is in crisis. And it’s going to take someone with strong leadership skills and experience in government to turn this county around and to restore hope.”
