Charley Burch Is The ONLY Democrat Running For Super District 9, Position 1!
The majority of Memphians are Democrats and are not fairly represented by Memphis Government, especially in Super District 9. Memphis is a Blue island and we must keep it Blue being that one party and special interest groups have hijacked the rest of the state.
Democrat Percentage
63.350% – Percentage of the population registered as a Democrat
Republican Percentage
35.960% – Percentage of the population registered as a Republican
Independent/Other Percentage
0.692% – Percentage of the population registered as Independent/Other
Tennessee is a decisively Red state with Governor Haslam being the wealthiest elected official in the entire United States of America. More people voted for Mitt Romney in Tennessee in the last Presidential election than Mississippi and Alabama combined.
Charley Burch is the ONLY Democrat in this race! Kemp Conrad is the former Chairman of The Shelby County Republican Party and Robin Spielberger is a Republican/Tea Party Member and activist.
The key to winning this race is getting out the Democratic vote! If Memphis Democrats go to the Polls and vote; we win hands down!
By electing Charley Burch to Super District 9 Position 1, he will be the 7th of 13 and help balance the Council against the needs of all Memphians.

The Memphis Flyer posted the article, “Memphis Decision 2015“.
Change is in the air. That is a given. That’s the message of the slight but obvious up-tick in early voting statistics over the equivalent period four years ago. That is what the pollsters and pundits are telling us as they assess the chances of prevailing for this or that candidate for mayor in the 2015 Memphis city election, which is just two weeks away, on October 8th.
And the “Winner” Is…Shelby County’s Democrats do a straw poll.
The Memphis Flyer posted the article, “And the “Winner” Is…Shelby County’s Democrats do a straw poll.”
Well, it’s a start. On the eve of early voting, which starts Friday and continues through Saturday, October 3t, the three gents pictured above have won one of the first actual votes of the 2015 election season — though it’s not (or not yet) the one they’re actually seeking.
Still, the smiles sported by these three winners of the Shelby County Democratic Party straw poll, held Wednesday night at the Spaghetti Warehouse, suggest they’re enjoying this brief taste of the proverbial Thrill of Victory. Pictured are (l to r): Charley Burch, Super District 9, Position 1; Paul Shaffer, Super District 9, Position 2, and Zachary Ferguson, Super District 9, Position 3.
