It's Official.
Amy Weirich has conceded.
Steve Mulroy is OUR DA.

In an unprecedented move, the Shelby County Election Commission has suspended posting election tape results at polling locations. This is a decision that endangers the democratic process by eliminating any form of transparency. (1/2)

We need to repeal permitless carry in Tennessee. It's not a violation of the Second Amendment to require a permit to publicly carry a firearm.

Every year Republican Amy Weirich has been DA of Shelby County, violent crime has gone up.
She will say we can't try reform, because we must keep people safe.
I say what she's doing, ain't working.
We Need Reform.
Not 8 more years of the same.

This case should never have been brought in the first place. But it's reassuring to know that, after international press coverage, a court-ordered reversal, & months of sustained public protest, Amy Weirich will eventually do the right thing. (Sarcasm)

We need to stop wasting time prosecuting marijuana, which is no more dangerous than alcohol, and refocus on violent crime. That’s true on both sides of our state's border with Arkansas, which many people cross in both directions daily. 1/2

No A/C. No heat. No running water. Bedbugs. Constant fear of criminal assault due to lack of security. These are just some of the conditions tenants face due to out-of-state corporate absentee slumlords. The DA's office could do so much more to make low-income tenants safe.

Election Day is TOMORROW! Tennessee law (TCA 2-1-106) entitles you to three full paid hours off from work to go vote. But you must notify your boss BY NOON TODAY that you plan to take that time off.

As soon as they were available, Steve's 96 year-old mother proudly displayed her son's Campaign sign all the way down in her yard in Pensacola, Florida.

Rest in Peace Nichelle Nichols.
While she was best known for tv's first interracial kiss, her involvement with the Civil Rights Movement ran deeper, as she remained on Star Trek at the behest of Dr. King.
She was truly a trailblazer in every sense.

No, an assault weapons ban won't end all mass shootings. But it can bring down the body count. And you don't need an AR-15 for self-defense or hunting.

I penned a letter to Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson a month ago, signed by myself & other local leaders, suggesting Starbucks has been retaliating against union organizers. Now the NLRB has found exactly that.

The story of Riona should break the heart of anyone with a heart. As the author of Shelby County's first-ever animal welfare ordinance, I take animal cruelty very seriously. So should the law. As DA, I would have a dedicated unit for such issues.

Two months ago I wrote an open letter to the Starbucks CEO outlining why the firing of the seven union organizers seemed to be improper. Today an NLRB investigator confirmed my suspicions. Starbucks should recognize the union, period.

On this solemn anniversary, we should reflect that whether it's Pulse or Uvalde or Charleston, whether it's LGBTQ, Latino, or Black, we have a problem with hate crimes & with mass shootings. We need courageous acts against dog whistle politics, & we need sensible gun safety laws.

As a parent of two White Station graduates this strikes close to home. But whether it's Memphis, Buffalo, or Uvalde, Texas; the lesson is the same:
If we truly care about our children, we will adopt sensible gun safety laws.

The bill supports "a public health & prevention approach, rather than (just) a law enforcement/criminal justice response."

If Mississippi can have legal marijuana, so can Tennessee. And prosecuting simple marijuana possession should never be a priority for a District Attorney.
