2022 Shelby County Elections
We recognize that there are many challenges and opportunities facing Shelby County right now and into the near future. We are especially mindful of the impact Blue Oval City will have on West Tennessee. We believe engaged, effective leadership is essential to navigate these uncharted waters and pave the way for economic development to Shelby County.
As part of our ongoing commitment to advocating for private property rights and homeownership, the Governmental Affairs Committee of the West TN Home Builders Association interviewed multiple candidates running for elected office within Shelby County. After careful consideration, their recommendations were sent to the Board of Directors for approval.
