Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris has formally announced his plans to run for re-election, the Daily Memphian reports. Harris made the announcement in a 46-second video sent to supporters. If re-elected, Harris told the Daily Memphian that he hoped to “drive a community-wide conversation around community health care access and jobs,” including second chance and re-entry programs for people coming out of prison. Prior to winning the mayoral election in 2018, Harris served in the state Senate, representing the 29th District.
