Former Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS) Superintendent Marie Feagins is running in the Democratic primary for Shelby County mayor, The Daily Memphian reports. Records from the Shelby County Election Commission show Feagins has filed a form appointing a treasurer for her campaign. She joins six other contenders in the May primary, with the winner advancing to the August general election. Feagins came to Memphis in February 2024 as the district’s new superintendent. The school board fired her in January 2025, and she has since filed suit seeking to regain the position.
