On Saturday, April 6th the Shelby County Democratic Party met to complete its bi-annual reorganization at Airways Middle School in Memphis.

After holding a caucus to elect the 76 members of the Executive Committee for this term, the newly elected Committee voted to approve the current bylaws and elect a chair.

The election of Bryan Carson was approved by acclimation after the withdrawal of candidates Terry Spicer and Jennings Bernard.

On his Facebook page, incoming Chair Bryan Carson said the following:

Today I was elected to serve as Chairman for the Shelby County Democratic Party. I want to give thanks to all of my supporters and to everyone that donated to my campaign. I couldn’t have done this without you. Last but not least I want to thank the man above, without his blessing none of this would be possible.

Congratulations to the new Executive Committee and Chair Bryan Carson.

Details on the remainder of the leadership team will be forthcoming after the Executive Committee holds its first meeting on April 18th.
