Thank you @memphisnews readers for voting me your favorite Elected Official for the 6th year in a row.

I join bipartisan mayors across the country in support of this plan.

The deal also provides for broadband infrastructure because too many places have no access to high-speed internet.

Connecting internet to all our neighborhoods is as important today to quality of life and job creation as was connecting electricity 100 years ago.

[Jim Strickland @JStrick901]

Thankful for bipartisan infrastructure deal, which will help with roads/bridges, public transportation (@RideMATA) and water/ power infrastructure (@MLGW).

As @POTUS said “There’s nothing our nation can’t do when we decide to do it together, do it as one nation.”

[Jim Strickland @JStrick901]

Proud of my appointment and to take part today in the Investiture Ceremony of Carolyn Watkins, Municipal Judge Div. 1. Her lifetime of public service, legal experience, and character have prepared her well for this new position.

[Jim Strickland @JStrick901]

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Rev. Dr. James Netters, a giant in Memphis as a religious, elected and civic leader. He was instrumental on the 1st city council in 1968. I always enjoyed listening to his sermons at Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, or simply visiting with him.

Wheels down in Memphis. From here, our team members will use our integrated air and ground network to ensure the vaccines are delivered safely to destinations across the U.S.

[Jim Strickland @JStrick901]

Proud that Memphians and @FedEx are at the forefront of the difficult distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.

[Friends of Jim Strickland @stricklandmayor]

Thank you Memphis for voting for me as “Best Elected Official” in the @memphisnews “Memphis Most” poll for the fifth year in a row. This has been the toughest year in Memphis in decades, but we will emerge from this a better city for all." https://t.co/KxhCJlk31H

I’m sad to announce the passing of my friend & dedicated campaign worker Sherry Yvonne Hoover. For those who had the chance to stop by my Whitehaven campaign headquarters, you will remember Sherry for her warm greetings & infectious smile. My condolences to Sherry’s family.

It is with great sadness that we announce Coach Tom Nix died of natural causes this morning at his home. He was 93.

What a crowd, WHAT A CROWD. Amazon is giving Memphis, Shelby County and Tennessee respect. 1,000 jobs here starting at minimum of $15 an hour. This will join centers in eight Tennessee communities...with a total of 6500 jobs.
