Thank you for taking time to visit my campaign website and to learn more about me, my family, my hopes and dreams for Memphis, and to exchange ideas on how we can realize a brighter tomorrow – together.

I love this great city and have invested ten years building a successful business, raising my family (my beautiful wife Anne, and Kemp Jr., age 4, and Elizabeth Campbell, age 1), and working quietly behind the scenes in numerous non-profit organizations to help make Memphis a better place to live, work, and play.

In Memphis, our time is now. There has never been a better time to affect positive change and put Memphis on a sharp upward trajectory. But make no mistake, the stakes are high. Crime is ravaging our community, elected officials have been on the take, our government is broken, taxes too high, and we are failing our children.

We can do better. I believe Memphis is in need of servant leaders with a track record of success that have a proven history of working across political and racial lines to bring us together and move Memphis forward.

If you feel the same way, then I hope you will get involved and help elect me to City Council Super District 9, Position 1 so that I can serve you and be your advocate for change in City government.

Thank you for your support, consideration and prayers, and I look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail. With your help, we can realize our potential as a city and weave the vibrant tapestry of our community together with a tighter and denser knot.

Together,
Kemp

Conrad Announces Campaign for City Council

08/19/08

Kemp Conrad will make reducing crime, lowering property taxes and strengthening the education system his priorities as the next City Councilman from Super District 9, he announced today.

Conrad announced his campaign immediately after being the first candidate to file his petition to run with the Shelby County Election Commission, Monday morning.

“Crime is out of control, property taxes are the highest in the state yet our education system is not producing the workforce of tomorrow,” said Conrad. “I believe that Memphis can do better.”

Conrad added that “almost 10,000 people moved out of the city last year yet spending increased by over $40 million.  That’s just bad business.”

Kemp was joined by Shelby County Commissioner George Flinn, father of City Councilman Shea Flinn, who narrowly defeated Conrad in the race for City Council last October.
