Bob Green
Office history
Career
Bob Green is a logistics and customer service professional with 31 years of experience in the private sector, distinguishing himself from career politicians by emphasizing operational expertise over political tenure (JustMyMemphis). His career includes significant roles in supply chain management and property oversight. He previously worked for Memphis-based Hollywood Feed, where he was responsible for training the companyβs initial Texas market from the ground up and overhauling inefficient warehousing systems (JustMyMemphis). Currently, Green works in property and evidence management for law enforcement, a role he describes as requiring high-stakes, zero-error logistics daily (JustMyMemphis).
Public Service
Bob Green is a candidate for Shelby County Clerk in Tennessee, running as a member of the Democratic Party (Ballotpedia). He is listed on the ballot for the Democratic primary scheduled for May 5, 2026, with the general election set for August 6, 2026 (Ballotpedia). Green has not yet completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey for the 2026 election cycle (Ballotpedia).
Campaign Themes
Greenβs campaign focuses on treating the Shelby County Clerk's Office as a complex retail and logistics operation rather than a political arena. He argues that the office suffers from "forced retail" inefficiencies, such as long wait times for vehicle tags and licenses, which he attributes to poor management rather than political promises (JustMyMemphis).
His proposed platform includes several specific operational changes: * Audit and Execute: Green plans to audit every property lease immediately upon taking office and replace outdated Windows 7 computers that he claims slow down workers (JustMyMemphis). * The Apple Store Model: He proposes implementing a triage system to direct citizens upon entry and creating dedicated appointment times for businesses and fleet vehicles to eliminate aimless waiting (JustMyMemphis). * Neighborhood Access: Green intends to partner with community hubs, such as local libraries in areas like Bartlett or Arlington, to establish satellite drop-off locations for basic services (JustMyMemphis). * Staff Empowerment: His platform includes providing current supervisors with modern tools, compensation adjustments, and leadership support to improve working conditions (JustMyMemphis).
Green states that he is not running for office to secure a political "soft landing" or build a government resume, but rather because he believes his private sector experience allows him to fix the bottlenecks in the Clerk's Office immediately (JustMyMemphis).
