Harris re-elected county mayor, Mulroy wins race for district attorney

Lee Harris was re-elected to a second term as Shelby County mayor on Thursday, Aug. 4, and Steve Mulroy defeated incumbent Amy Weirich to become the county’s district attorney for the next eight years.

Harris garnered 78,552 votes to win another four-year term against challenger Worth Morgan, a Memphis City Councilman since 2016 who tallied 56,789 votes, or 42 percent of the ballots cast.

Mulroy totaled 76,280 votes to 59,364 for Weirich, according to Shelby County Election Commission results which will be unofficial until the results are certified.

In his campaign against the incumbent Weirich, Mulroy, a University of Memphis law professor and former prosecutor and Shelby County commissioner for District 5, attacked her record since she became DA in 2011, running television and social media ads that described her office as ranking “the worst” in Tennessee.

There were clear differences between Mulroy and Weirich for voters on issues related to prosecuting abortions, bail and truth in sentencing laws, to name a few, with Mulroy supporting criminal justice reform that would give more leniency for non-violent crimes and reduce the prison population. On the social media site LGBT Voters for Steve Mulroy, he posted:

We need to refocus on violent crime and stop wasting our resources on petty prosecutions like marijuana possession, being late in fines and fees, going after protestors or going after people who attempted to register to vote when they were told that they were able to vote.

We need to refocus on things that matter – carjacking, domestic assault, and homicides.”

In other races, Mick Wright, who represents Bartlett on the Shelby County Commission, ran unopposed and earned another four-year term in District 3.

As expected, incumbent Republican David Kustoff easily won the Republican primary for the District 8 Congressional seat with nearly 84 percent of the vote and Steve Cohen easily won the Democratic primary for U.S. Representative of the 9th District, getting 88 percent of votes cast.

Kustoff will face Democrat Lynnette Williams in the federal general election on Nov. 8 and Cohen will face Republican Charlotte Bergmann, who got 10,378 votes compared to 8,757 for Brown Dudley and 999 for Leo AwGoWhat in the primary.

Bill Lee was unopposed in the state primary for Tennessee governor and Nashville surgeon Jason B. Martin won the Democratic nomination for governor. They will square off on Nov. 8. In Shelby County, Democrat J.B. Smiley Jr. was the gubernatorial candidate of choice, getting 48,604 votes compared to 17,998 for Martin and 12,599 for Carnita F. Atwater.

In a City of Memphis referendum to extend term limits from two to three consecutive terms, voters said no, by a vote of 52,582 to 26,759.

A total of 86,637 county residents voted early, according to the Shelby County Election Commission.

Here is a list of other Shelby County results in the Nov. 4 elections. These totals must still be certified before becoming official:
