My name is John Covington, and I am a conservative republican running for Shelby County Commission – District 1

Who am I?

• To my wife, Honey.
• To my daughter, Dad.
• To Memphis citizens, Officer.
• To the Memphis Police Officers, Mr. MPA Vice President.
• To residents of Arlington, Neighbor

And to liberal, soft-on-crime politicians?
Yeah… I’m that (think of the worst word you can) John Covington.

In one word: fighter

I’ve fought violent criminals on the streets. I’ve fought to restore officer pay, pensions, and respect. Now, I’m ready to fight for District 1.

Crime is spilling out of Memphis because its leadership lacks the will to act.

I will not let our public safety resources or our tax dollars be drained into a city that won’t fix itself.

I will fight for smart, sensible growth—growth that protects what makes District 1 great—not the kind fueled by greed that brings chaos and crime with it.

This isn’t about a title. It’s about my daughter’s future—and yours.

If you believe in law, order, and good old-fashioned common sense, then stand with me.
Too much is at stake. And failure is not an option.
