As a legislator, community advocate, and justice-driven leader, Joe Towns has dedicated his life to improving lives and uplifting communities across Shelby County.
From growing up on Mulberry Street—just steps from where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated—to co-founding anti-crime initiatives and serving over two decades in the Tennessee General Assembly, Joe Towns brings a rare combination of lived experience, compassion, and leadership.
He’s not only witnessed history—he’s shaped it. Now, he’s ready to bring that same lifelong commitment to justice and public service to the role of Criminal Court Clerk.
For nearly 30 years, Joe Towns has stood with us—in the halls of the State Capitol and in the heart of our neighborhoods—advocating for real change. Now, let’s stand with him to bring proven leadership and deep community roots to the Shelby County Criminal Court Clerk’s office.
There are so many ways to help Team Towns—from canvassing to community outreach. Let us know how you’d like to get involved.
This campaign is powered by people—not politics. Every contribution helps us elect a public servant who has already spent decades delivering results for Shelby County.
