I am not your average candidate. I am a small business owner and an active community member. I believe in civic and civil discourse as a means of achieving optimal solutions. I am committed to improving the State’s operations in the residential, business, social and civic sectors. I will listen to you, I will represent you, I will honor you. More importantly, I will do something different, I will make citizens first!

"Lemichael Wilson can lead the change that we need in the State.  Now is the time for real leadership and integrity in our State's highest office. NEW BEGINNINGS for every Tennesseean!"

-Cary Miller

Resident, Humes Heights Neighborhood

"Of all the candidates, he is the most genuine and sincere.  I believe Mr. Wilson would be a good mayor.  Tennessee is in need of drastic change from the status quo."

 

-Clifton Stockton, Jr.

Political Strategist

". . . even with my high standards for candidates, Lemichael has my support. He was the first to announce candidacy for Mayor and has spent the past two years and a half listening to Memphians of all walks of life. He dislikes identity politics and the power of the duopoly almost as much as I do. He wants to find solutions to our concerns without the stigma of political party affiliation to get in the way. 

-Jaron Weidner,

Small Business Owner

Dear Tennessee . . .

 

Something exciting is happening in Tennessee. The State is on the rise; however, our data is unsettling. Many of our citizens are paying over half of their income on housing expenses. We have citizens living in the streets.  The status quo is a fine line between prosperity and despair, and we are too often asked to kowtow to the expectations of a monied few.

You deserve fresh, new, motivated and dynamic leadership that will turn away from the old ways of governance; and, who are committed to keeping an eye on what ought to be. We can no longer afford more of the same people, same characteristics, same ideas – without any real solutions to the concerns of the citizens. You deserve better! You ought to be prosperous. You ought to be grand. You ought to be a beacon in the South, radiating justice, peace, progress, and prosperity.

Our job now is to ensure that those opportunities are equitably distributed all around the State and not just in select cities. It should not matter whether citizens live in Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, or even Knoxville. What does matter is that they live in Tennessee! And, all residents and businesses, every demographic, each population is entitled to an equal chance at a high quality of living and economic prosperity.

 

The time is before us to turn the page and begin writing a new history. Our current State leadership is not up to the task of creating this environment, so I am writing you to announce my candidacy in the 2022 election for the office of Governor of Tennessee.

 

I am a small business owner and an active community member. I believe in civic and civil discourse as a means of achieving optimal solutions. I am committed to improving the State’s operations in the residential, business, social and civic sectors. I will listen to you, I will represent you, I will honor you. More importantly, I will do something different, I will make citizens first!

 

We have a great opportunity to turn the tables to create safe communities and have equitable investments throughout the State. Our communities and citizens must come first! We can have affordable health care benefits for State employees and retirees, and mental health centers and resources. We can make Tennessee a nationally recognized livable State of diverse cities with a wide variety of quality, affordable housing choices where citizens feel safe and secure at home and in the community – both perception and reality.

 

We can make moves to:

• Protect the environment
• Fight for equality
• Ensure equal financial investments throughout the State
• Beautify the State
• Reduce taxes
• Cut government waste
• End corporate welfare by reforming the PILOT/EDGE program to attract business development and expansion mutually beneficial for all stakeholders.

 

YES! We are at a crucial juncture, here at the end of prosperity and despair, where the decisions we make about how to dedicate our common resources can have splendidly beneficial and deleterious effects. These are not just talking points! We can beautify our State. We can cut waste. We can end corporate welfare. We can do these things, now and in the future, if we are bold enough to stand up for what we believe in and what we know to be right.

 

Our greatest strength is working collectively in harmony, despite our individual differences. When we work in harmony, we will make Tennessee one of the greatest places to live, work, learn and play. I am asking you to consider connecting to the movement.

• Together, we can make Tennessee a magnet of opportunities for young people and families; and a more hopeful place for those who have been left behind.
• Together we can enhance community policing to strengthen the bond between the public safety officers and the people they serve and protect.
• Together, we can rehab and re-purpose blighted homes to make them available housing for low-income and transitional citizens
• Together, we can re-establish trust in State government by hiring qualified individuals in key management positions to lead our State.
• Together, we can make a difference in the State that we all love!
