We sent questionnaires to all of the candidates running for mayor of Memphis and Memphis City Council, asking their positions on important criminal justice reform issues like law enforcement's use of deadly force, the Community Law Enforcement Review Board, the school-to-prison pipeline, transparency and more. The questionnaires we sent to mayoral candidates can be found here. The questionnaires we sent to city council candidates can be found here.
All certified candidates' responses appear below exactly as they were shared with us. Candidate names are listed in the form they appear on the ballot. We urge you to read their responses before you vote on October 3, 2019 (or earlier if you early vote)!
Answers by candidate are below, as well as a page for the answers of all candidates' within a given district. If you are unsure of your district, click here to find out!
(Mayoral candidates are ordered first by whether or not they responded, then alphabetically.)
