general - Non-partisan - Memphis City Council District Super District 9 Position 3
About this office
Term length: 4 years.
This role calls for
- Policy judgment on Memphis-specific matters with a citywide rather than neighborhood lens, since super-district seats are elected at-large within a geographic super-district covering roughly half the city.
- Budget literacy: the 13-member Council approves the annual city budget and sets the city property-tax rate.
- Legislative process: drafting, amending, and voting on ordinances and resolutions; committee work that precedes full-council action.
- Citywide constituent relations across roughly 300,000 residents — broader case-work and policy reach than a single-member district.
- Memphis-specific issue depth: MLGW, MATA, EDGE incentives, blight, and the city's relationship with Shelby County government.
