Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Hi friends! I am Candice Jones and I am running to be the first black woman Commissioner of District 11. I am a graduate of Sheffield, the University of Memphis a Christian, an activist, and a 25 year resident of District 11

I am all about making a positive change within my community.I have built my campaign around schools, community, and economic development.

I am driven an I’ve already put in work. I helped Commissioner Eddie Jones install 25 blue light cameras in our neighborhoods and successfully stopped a new landfill in Hickory Hill. Last but certainly not least I am proud to say that I have a considerable history in working to get other Democrats elected. These things combined led me to my quest to capture the commission seat for District 11.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• My campaign has a history in public safety. I have worked with the neighborhood association groups and other government officials to put blue light cameras in neigh.borhoods throughout district 11z
• This campaign will be aggressive and steadfast about developing it’s communities . Additionally we will not stand for those who purposefully put disadvantageous developments in our community.. we held TVA accountable and we held Caissa Public Strategies accountable. More specifically, we will fight the dumping of coal ash in our communities. We will also continue to fight companies that try to bring landfills into our community.
• We will aggressively seek additional funding for our school systems and work with all levels of government to fill in the gaps where it is needed.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about public safety and community development.
