Her parents worked hard, often carrying multiple jobs to make ends meet, and taught her early the balance and grit her future career would demand. By 15, she was juggling a part-time job, the basketball court as a point guard, and cheer mats as a seven-time All-American cheerleader.

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites.Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:<ul><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ActBlue</a></li><li><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Campaign Deputy</a> </li><li><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GoodChange</a></li><li><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Numero</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ngpvan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NGP VAN</a></li></ul>

Becoming the first in her family to graduate college didn’t just change her life; it changed her expectations for what was possible. Her career never followed a straight line because Marie never believed change lived in just one place.She worked in media and corporate spaces, counseled young people and families, taught in classrooms, led a school as principal, and eventually stepped into complex public-sector leadership. Whether advising Fortune 500 executives and elected officials, partnering with neighborhoods, or coaching teams, Marie is known for calm in chaos, truth in tough moments, and a rare mix of heart and discipline that comes from growing up in places where neither could be taken for granted.

Shelby County is home to roughly 922,000 people. Half of the population identifies as African American, 36% as white, and the remainder identify as mixed race, Asian, Hispanic, multiracial or other. With a median household income of approximately $62,300 per year, still, the county struggles with nearly one in five residents living in poverty. These numbers matter because poverty, instability, and years of neglect show up as public health crises, violence, lost opportunity, and generational trauma.Our goal is disciplined and achievable: align what we fund with what people need, build systems that work, connect communities to opportunity. We are building One Shelby. One Future. A county where safety is felt, opportunity is reachable, and every neighborhood - from Millington to Orange Mound, Collierville to Frayser - moves forward together.What follows is a big vision because Shelby County deserves big outcomes. We won’t do everything at once, but this shows how we can build a brighter Shelby together moving in phases year by year, with clear goals and progress you can see, feel, and monitor.<h4>FOUNDATION 1: Public Health &amp; Safety</h4>Invest in the wellness of people and places to create safety families can feel.What we will do:Fix current jail conditions while planning responsibly for a new facility.Conduct a full facility &amp; population audit, publish results, and size future construction based on real need.Reduce jail population.

Everyone has a chance to rise.<h4>FOUNDATION 4: Housing Affordability &amp; Stability</h4>Affordable living without forcing families to choose between rent, food, and necessities.What we will do:<ul><li>Launch the Happy Homes Cohort to place families in affordable housing paired with jobs, transportation, and short-term stabilization support.</li><li>Expand missing-middle housing by rehabbing vacant properties and partnering with cities, faith institutions, employers, and nonprofit builders.</li><li>Create pathways to stability and ownership through rent-to-own options, credit-building programs, and employer-assisted housing.</li></ul>Outcomes: Fewer evictions and more stable families, stronger neighborhoods, a workforce able to stay and grow.<h4>FOUNDATION 5: Government Efficiency and Performance</h4>Efficient, honest government that delivers results people can see and feel.What we will do:Bold Business Boom<ul><li>Make Shelby County the easiest place in the Mid-South to start and grow a business.</li><li>Launch Legacy U Small Business Accelerator Academy partnering experienced businesses with rising and aspiring owners to provide permitting support, zoning guidance, and assistance with the procurement process.</li><li>Streamline permitting and zoning to shorten wait times and remove barriers.</li><li>Expand Neighborhood Opportunity Zones to push incentives and county microgrants to underserved ZIP codes.</li><li>Require fair wages and youth hiring for county contractors, aligning public dollars to impact community.</li></ul>“One Shelby” Legislative Agenda &amp; Lobbying Team<ul><li>Move as one region with many voices on the issues that matter.</li><li>Convene monthly mayor-to-mayor strategy sessions.</li><li>Build a unified legislative agenda for Nashville and D.C.</li><li>Establish a regional lobbying team to champion funding for transit, public safety, housing, and workforce.</li></ul>Accountability, Transparency &amp; Public Engagement<ul><li>A government that people can track, trust, and participate in.</li><li>Annual State of Shelby address outlining progress, challenges, and the path forward.</li><li>Quarterly dashboard showing trends in crime, health, housing, education, and jobs.</li><li>Community-design tables where residents help shape policies and local investments.</li><li>Cut wasteful spending, explore community participation budgeting for input on how dollars are spent.</li></ul>Outcomes: A government that is faster, simpler, transparent, and built around the community it serves.

In Memphis-Shelby County Schools, where she became superintendent of the largest district in the state in 2024, Marie focused on the fundamentals families feel most: better attendance, fewer chronically absent students, stronger academic growth, and more honesty about what needed fixing.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/81220a46-fa89-4316-814c-464d6d2fa093/2ec01005-8983-4ff3-8c1c-e05f5cfd6f07/2ec01005-8983-4ff3-8c1c-e05f5cfd6f07.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=179%2C0%2C1098%2C1062&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"><h3>Shelby Starts With She.</h3>The community response to her leadership — thousands showing up, speaking out, and organizing — revealed something unmistakable: "People recognized courage, truth-telling, and a leader willing to confront broken systems rather than accept them.”Marie is running for Shelby County Mayor with a simple belief that government should work for everyone. Her priorities reflect the concerns she’s heard again and again from everyday families: safer communities, healthier neighborhoods, real opportunities for young people, and public systems that work the way people need them to.<h3>Leading By Example.</h3>Her work has earned national recognition as Success Magazine Women of Influence, the Legacy Trailblazer Award, Memphis Business Journal Power 100, and national features including with Katie Couric. But if you ask her, the awards matter less than the people behind them.Dr. Feagins holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from The University of Alabama, a Master’s in Counseling from the University of West Alabama, and a doctorate from Samford University with an executive finance certification from Georgetown University.

<h4>Efficient, honest government that delivers results and measures them publicly.</h4>We will run Shelby County with discipline, transparency, and shared purpose. Every department will have clear goals, measurable results, and public accountability. We will work collaboratively with elected officials and municipal leaders to streamline processes, align budgets with outcomes, meet consistently, and advance at least one coordinated legislative agenda as ONE SHELBY so the government works together, spends wisely, and delivers results people can see and feel.<h4>Commitment:</h4>A government that serves the people must be transparent, disciplined, and aligned. Every dollar, decision, and department will be accountable to outcomes that improve lives across Shelby County.<h4>Priorities:</h4><ul><li>Bold Business Boom</li><li>“One Shelby” Legislative Agenda and Lobbying Team</li><li>Accountability, Transparency, and Public Engagement</li><li>Phasing Out the Penny</li><li>Transition Leadership and Continuity</li></ul><h3>1. Bold Business Boom</h3>Help small businesses grow, recruit new industries, and ensure economic development benefits the people who live here. We will remove barriers, reduce bureaucracy, expand access to capital, and tie incentives to outcomes residents can feel through:<ul><li>Legacy U Small Business Accelerator Academy Training, permitting and zoning guidance, procurement navigation led by experienced business owners</li><li>Streamlined Permitting + Zoning Reform Fast-tracked approvals, shorter wait times, single entry for new business owners</li><li>Expand Awareness of Neighborhood Opportunity Zones Distressed ZIP codes designated as priority locations for tax incentives and county-funded microgrants</li><li>Fair Wage and Youth Hiring Requirement A percentage of county infrastructure contracts dedicated to apprenticeships and youth jobs; Contractors must pay a living wage aligned with inflation</li></ul><h3>2. ONE SHELBY Legislative Agenda and Lobbying Team</h3>The county mayor’s role is to convene, connect, and champion. Municipalities know their communities and pain points, but we can go farther, faster when we go together. This is not one-size-fits-all. The county sets the table, cities bring their needs, and together we design solutions that meet the needs of the people we serve.Mayors HuddleHeld twice a year, during the Mayors Huddle we will:<ul><li>discuss city-specific priorities to inform the budget</li><li>develop a joint legislative agenda and lobbying team</li><li>lobby Nashville and D.C. as one region with many voices and nuanced needs</li></ul><h3>3. Accountability, Transparency, &amp; Public Engagement</h3>Residents deserve to see how dollars are used, where progress is made, and where more work is needed. This plan includes:<ul><li>Annual “State of Shelby” Address to share wins, challenges, budget impact, and what’s next.</li><li>Public dashboard with crime, health, housing, and education indicators visible to residents</li><li>Community-design tables where residents co-develop policies, pilots, and neighborhood investments</li><li>Participatory budgeting in select communities, allowing parents and youth to help decide how funds are spent</li><li>Maintain business practices and county initiatives that align with Local Government Rating criteria to sustain an excellent rating </li></ul>Engagement strategies will prioritize women, parents, and caregivers through accessible meeting times, childcare-aware formats, and clear, plain-language communication.Read more about our alignment with Local Government Rating criteria <a href="https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:fec27558-cd29-4e36-88f7-61a8234af1d1">here</a>.<h3>4. A Penny for Your Thoughts</h3>The federal government is phasing out the penny. While this change is national, how it’s handled locally matters especially for seniors, working families, and people who rely on cash. Our administration will handle this transition with transparency, fairness, and respect for every dollar families earn.How Shelby County Will Meet the Moment<ul><li>Clear Public Education Launch a simple, plain-language education campaign so residents understand what’s changing, when it’s changing, and what it means for everyday purchases before implementation begins.</li><li>Penny Exchange Program Partner with trusted county locations to allow residents to exchange accumulated pennies for higher denominations, ensuring no one loses value.</li><li>Financial Access &amp; Literacy Work with the Trustee’s Office and community partners to expand access to basic banking, credit education, and safe financial tools, especially for unbanked and underbanked residents.</li></ul><h3>5. Transition Leadership &amp; Continuity</h3>Strong leadership includes how you hand the baton. I will lead a disciplined, transparent transition that protects services, respects workers, and keeps Shelby County moving forward from day one.What we will do<ul><li>Establish a Transition Leadership Office immediately after the election to protect critical services and ensure continuity.</li><li>Professionally onboard new leaders with required training in ethics, budgeting, operations, and community impact.</li><li>Publish a public transition playbook with a clear 90-day plan so residents, employees, and partners know what to expect.</li></ul>

We will run Shelby County with discipline, transparency, and shared purpose. Every department will have clear goals, measurable results, and public accountability.

Government Performance and Efficiency

<h4>Affordable living without forcing families to choose between rent, food, and necessities.</h4>Shelby County faces rising rents, aging housing, and too many families one emergency away from displacement. This is a public health issue, a workforce issue, and a public safety issue. Stable housing reduces future public costs, lowers contact with the justice system, improves health outcomes, and increases economic participation. It is one of the smartest long-term investments a county can make.<h4>Commitment:</h4>Every Shelby County family deserves a stable place to call home. We will expand affordable housing, prevent displacement, and connect housing to jobs, health, and transportation so families can stay rooted and move forward.<h4>Priorities:</h4><ul><li>Happy Homes Cohort</li><li>500 Homes Challenge</li></ul><ol><li>Happy Homes Cohort: a stability-first cross-agency housing initiative that places people in homes and surrounds them with tools to grow there. The initiative will serve an identified number of families annually with: <ul><li>Housing Stability Units: Tiny homes and rehabbed properties through partnerships with Habitat for Humanity, BLDG Memphis, Memphis Housing Authority, MLGW home weatherization</li><li>Workforce Readiness Training: Cohort participants required to complete GED/skills training, job placement support, interview prep</li><li>Guaranteed Job Path: County and employer partners commit interview slots and priority hiring for cohort graduates</li><li>Transportation Access: Transit passes and ride-to-interview funding</li><li>Stipend Bridge: Monthly support for a defined timeframe to stabilize families as they transition to new or increased income</li></ul></li><li>500 Homes Challenge: To expand “missing middle” housing, we will partner with municipalities to launch a public-private push to create or preserve 500 affordable units in one year.</li></ol>What counts• Renovated units • Vacant homes returned to occupancy • Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) • Converted motels • Church-owned land adapted for housing • Employer-assisted housing pilots • Rent-to-own or credit-building housing tracks Potential Funding Sources: Federal HUD dollars (HOME, CDBG) to build/rehab units and provide down payment assistance; PILOT recapture used to stipends and workforce wraparound support; Philanthropic match to support cohort expansion and tiny home pilots; Private sector and Habitat for Humanity partnerships for construction materials and labor cost reduction

Housing instability disproportionately affects women-led households, particularly Black women, and stabilizing housing is one of the strongest predictors of long-term economic security for families.

<h4>A county where work pays, businesses grow, and opportunity is reachable.</h4>Shelby County has always been a place where things move: planes, packages, people, and ideas. We are positioned to become the culture, amateur sports, and distribution capital of the nation where people, jobs, creativity, and opportunity meet. Economic growth requires a focus on giving people the tools, transit, and investment needed to move upward and forward. Our goal is simple: job creation, small business expansion, and opportunities that don’t stop at the city core or at municipal borders. This is how we reposition Shelby County as the innovation capital of the South.<h4>Commitment:</h4>A growing economy must lift the people who built it. Everyone rises, or no one does. This includes closing income gaps that disproportionately affect Black women, who are overrepresented in low-wage work while carrying the highest caregiving burdens.<h4>Priorities:</h4><ul><li>Regional Transit Access</li><li>Level Up Guaranteed Income Initiative</li><li>The Spirit of Shelby: Culture and Sports as Economic Engines</li></ul><h3>1. Regional Transit</h3>Transportation should connect people to opportunity. Today, it doesn’t and the costs to families, students, and businesses are high. The gaps are real:<ul><li>Workers can get near their job, but not to the entrance.</li><li>Students live “close enough” to school on paper, but too far to walk safely at times</li><li>Seniors miss appointments because one route takes three hours.</li><li>Third-shift employees lose jobs when buses stop running.</li><li>Suburban routes are shrinking and safety concerns push people back into cars.</li></ul>We will collaborate to implement 901-RIDE as a supplemental shuttle network working alongside MATA to fill in missing gaps.<ul><li>Pick up students who live too close for a school bus, but too far to walk safely especially without sidewalks or during bad weather.</li><li>Connect workers to more sites like logistics, hospitals, Amazon/Nike, retail</li><li>Move families to entertainment - shuttles from designated park-and-ride hubs to downtown to increase event attendance and avoid garage searching, six-block walks at midnight, and returning to car break-ins.</li></ul>Proposed funding to operate 901-RIDE:<ul><li>Federal transit &amp; mobility grants, state workforce &amp; apprenticeship funds</li><li>Corporate sponsorships</li><li>Employer-co-funded workforce route contracts for shift-workers</li><li>Philanthropic pilot matching and county operational savings&nbsp; </li></ul><h3>2. Level Up Guaranteed Income Initiative</h3>No family in Shelby County should have to choose medication, groceries, or gas. Hunger is not a result of personal failure, it is the consequence when pay doesn’t keep up with cost-of-living. We will pilot Level Up, Shelby County’s first Guaranteed Income Initiative:• Low-income households• Monthly stipend• 6-12-month pilot program with expansion tied to resultsThis is an efficient way to put money directly into the hands of families who need it most without complicated forms, hoops to jump through, and punishment for working or improving your life. <h3>3. The Spirit of Shelby: Culture &amp; Amateur Sports Capital of the South</h3>From Beale Street to Bartlett studios, from rap to rock to gospel, Shelby County creates culture the world copies, yet too many of our artists and athletes lack access, space, and funding. Our talent is our currency. We will invest in it: Heart the Arts<ul><li>Microgrants for artists, filmmakers, musicians, and designers to turn vacant or neglected spaces into creative landmarks.</li><li>Quarterly designated days of celebrating local innovation, arts, food, and sports showcasing homegrown talent and ideas to draw investment, attention, and tourism.</li></ul>See Shelby Passport<ul><li>Neighborhood cultural tourism routes exploring food, murals, music, and history countywide</li></ul>Shelby Sports<ul><li>Create a Countywide Youth Sports Commission representing all 13 districts</li><li>Launch The Shelby Cup regional multi-sport tournament to generate tourism</li><li>Form the Mayor’s Sports &amp; Events Council to pursue major events and generate revenue: WNBA/NBA All-Star Weekend, youth cheer/dance nationals, baseball championships, state and regional sports events</li></ul>Responsible GamingAs part of our ONE SHELBY Legislative Agenda we will advocate to our state partners to evaluate the future of regulated gaming as a responsible, locally beneficial approach to casinos and gaming that puts Shelby County first. Beneficial outcomes from this approach would include:<ul><li>Education facility maintenance and deferred maintenance, ensuring our schools are safe, modern, and worthy of our students</li><li>Transportation and infrastructure investments, from road repairs to transit improvements that move people and commerce efficiently</li><li>Local economic growth including workforce development and inclusive small-business participation</li></ul>

Shelby County has always been a place where things move: planes, packages, people, and ideas.

<h4>Build a Literacy-to-Life pathway so every child can learn, lead, and leave a legacy in Shelby County.</h4>Education is the bridge to opportunity. A strong education system is crime prevention, workforce development, and economic growth all in one. We will invest in a Pre-K to Paycheck pathway: birth-to-three supports, expanded Pre-K access, real work experience for teens, and clear job connections for adults. It connects the classroom to a career field to ensure every resident from Orange Mound to Lakeland is ready for their next level of success. <h4>Commitment:</h4>We will build a countywide education-to-employment system where learning leads to earnings. This system recognizes that when mothers and families have access to childcare, clear information, and economic pathways, children succeed at higher rates. <h4>Priorities:</h4><ul><li>Literacy to Life Pathway&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Education Compact</li><li>Parent Power Hubs</li></ul><h3>1.

Parent Power Hubs</h3>Let’s face it, things have changed dramatically since our parents were in school and resources should be accessible across the county to improve how families experience Shelby County. Parent Power Hubs will intentionally support mothers and women caregivers navigating education systems, workforce transitions, and access to benefits across the county.&nbsp; Because parents are the engine of student success, we will collaborate to empower families through:<ul><li>Childcare subsidy support</li><li>Multilingual workshops on rights, services, and supports in community centers</li><li>Understand Your Child’s Data sessions</li></ul>

Education is the bridge to opportunity. A strong education system is crime prevention, workforce development, and economic growth all in one.
