Joe Brown, a former Memphis City Council member who ran unsuccessfully in 2019 for city court clerk, beat Paul Boyd, a former probate court clerk, in the race yesterday for Shelby County General Sessions Court clerk. With all 166 precincts countywide reporting, unofficial totals show Brown with 64,230 votes to 42,073 for Boyd, the Daily Memphian reports. Brown, who was a council member for 21 years, succeeds outgoing Democratic clerk Ed Stanton, who decided not to seek re-election.
