With 10 months before voters choose the next Shelby County district attorney, the push to unseat incumbent Amy Weirich has heated up with a new public education campaign designed to bring attention to Weirich’s “controversial” record. Flyers and a mobile billboard calling Weirich a “repeat offender” were seen near the Shelby County Criminal Justice Center on Wednesday. The campaign is coordinated by Memphis Watch, a newly formed organization that does not appear to have a web presence or be led by Memphians, according to a joint report from Report for America and MLK50: Justice Through Journalists published in the Memphis Flyer. The messages are similar to the website AmyWeirichFiles.com, which offers a blistering assessment of Weirich’s actions.
