“Let me tell you why it is that I’m running, or at least a few of the reasons why I’m running. My philosophy is simple. Every person who breaks the law must be held accountable. Now that’s the case if you’re a street criminal, but it’s particularly the case if you are a violent criminal. But unfortunately, every year in Shelby County since our incumbent DA has taken office, violent crime in Shelby County has risen and risen and risen. And it’s gotten to the point where as of today, there was an online article that was published showing how, according to FBI crime statistics, the most dangerous city to live in the United States is Memphis, Tennessee. The Memphis metropolitan area is the most dangerous, measured by violent crime. What I conclude from that is, the policies we’ve been pursuing for the past 11 years are not working. They are not making us safe. We need change.” - Steve Mulroy
