Early voting for the county primary elections started Wednesday and runs through April 27. I would like to ask you to consider voting for a very good man, Kevin Gallagher, for the position of Criminal Court Clerk.<\/p>\n
I first met Kevin about 10 years ago when I volunteered to do some database work for Steve Cohen’s 1996 Congressional campaign. Kevin was the campaign manager, and I was impressed with his work ethic and his commitment to make the city a better place. In recent years, I have kept in touch with Kevin through our involvement with Mpact Memphis, where he has been active in the Policy pillar. Kevin recently served as an aide to County Mayor AC Wharton, so he is well versed in county government already.<\/p>\n
Steve Steffens, author of the LeftWingCracker<\/a> blog, writes in his recommendations for the elections:<\/p>\n Criminal Court Clerk<\/span> – Kevin Gallagher – No-brainer here; he has plans to streamline the office and he will bust his butt to do so.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I agree.<\/p>\n To my Republican friends: This is a Democratic primary, so I guess you won’t be voting here. But when the general election comes, I hope you will keep in mind that in the past I have endorsed Republicans in this blog (John Pellicciotti, Ruth Ogles) who have had good hearts, sharp minds, and who have been committed to working for the public good. Therefore, I hope that you will return the favor and give Kevin a serious look. He’s a good guy and will do right for the county.<\/p>\n Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Early voting for the county primary elections started Wednesday and runs through April 27.
