The outcome in a majority of the 13 Shelby County Commission seats was established in the May primaries. The occupants of the remaining five seats remain to be determined in the August 4th election. For all practical purposes, what is at stake is how large the Democratic majority on that body will be when it convenes its new term in September. The two GOP incumbents here are expected to win. A Democratic victory in the three other contested races, considered likely, would result in a 9 to 4 Democratic majority.
County Commission Races
District 1: Republican incumbent Amber Mills faces Democrat Donna McDonald-Martin.
District 4: Republican incumbent Brandon Morrison vs. Democratic challenger Britney Chauncey.
District 5: Democrat Shante Avant and Republican Todd Payne tangle for an open seat.
District 7: Henri Brooks, Democrat, vs. Shirelle-Dakota Brown, Independent.
District 13: Incumbent Democrat Michael Whaley faces Republican Ed Apple.
