Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris, who has been assumed to be a candidate for re-election, ended all suspense Wednesday with an email confirming his intentions to run again in 2022.
The email contained this statement: “Four years ago, we built from scratch a multi-racial, multi-generational coalition that spanned our entire county.” Harris’ written statement continued, “We showed that a kid from Whitehaven, the son of a high school guidance counselor and a repairman, could serve and lead in our community. Together, we changed the conversation. We showed that our greatest strength as a community is our people. Over the past four years, we have accomplished so much together. We can do it again.”
