Jerred Price For Memphis

Hey everyone!

I'm Jerred.  Some of you know me through my work as Commissioner of Memphis City Beautiful, some of you may know me through the Downtown Neighborhood Association.  And many of you know me through my music & my show "Almost Elton John". If you don't know me, I hope this website helps give you a little information about who I am and my passion for a better Memphis. 

I was raised in the housing projects with a single mom.  I knew early on, if I wanted something, I would have to work hard and put all my effort into reaching that goal.  But I also knew that you get out of the universe what you put into it.  So I guided my life with two mottos:  "Be seen serving, don't serve to be seen" and  “Let's do all we can, for as many as we can, for as long as we can.”

Today, I am a successful entrepreneur and small business owner who knows the importance of small businesses in our community.  I want to fight for small businesses and our communities with the same drive that allowed me to accomplish my goals and allowed me to help others.  This city has so much opportunity, but we have to lift up EVERYONE from EVERY neighborhood for our city to reach its fullest potential.

I hope you will see my proven track record of being a community servant, with proven results for the people.  Over many years, I have had the honor of working shoulder to shoulder with some amazing Memphians for some amazing causes.  I hope that you will elect me to represent you as your next councilman so I can continue to work with you all and help bring fresh ideas to Memphis and take our city to the next level.  Memphis has had enough of candidates who just show up when it's election time for their own personal benefit - let's change that this election!

Let's ask not what Memphis can do for us, rather, what we can do for Memphis - together!
