Former Memphis City Councilman Brent Taylor today announced that he will run to represent state Senate District 31, a seat that will soon be vacated by Republican Sen. Brian Kelsey, the Commercial Appeal reports. Taylor has previously served on the Shelby County Commission and last week resigned from the Shelby County Election Commission. “My focus will be on fighting violent crime, reducing inflation, helping small businesses and supporting schools,” Taylor said in a statement. Taylor has not yet pulled a nominating petition. Brandon Toney, Nasser Fazlullah and Paul Boyd have also pulled nominating petitions for the seat.
