“ Independent for County Commission District 12 ”

About


Andrea Bell is an independent candidate for the Shelby County Board of Commissioners, District 12, positioning herself as a reform-minded leader focused on fiscal accountability and community restoration. A Memphis native with a background in business management and non-profit leadership, Bell’s platform centers on her "Save Our County" Action Plan. This initiative seeks to eliminate government waste and redirect public funds toward neighborhood-level reinvestment, specifically targeting affordable housing, support for small local businesses, and property tax relief for longtime residents. Her campaign is rooted in the belief that the county must prioritize its existing infrastructure and people over the interests of outside corporations.

In addition to her fiscal goals, Bell advocates for a long-term overhaul of the local educational system to better prepare students for a rapidly evolving, AI-driven workforce. Drawing from her personal history as a caregiver and her professional experience at major organizations like FedEx and TVA, she emphasizes the need for stable, decade-long planning in schools rather than short-term fixes. By bridging the gap between social advocacy and business efficiency, Bell aims to provide a non-partisan alternative to the district’s representation, focusing on equity in education and the economic empowerment of District 12’s families.
