Brooks announces run for Jackson City Council

JACKSON, Tenn. — With elections coming up in just a few months, another candidate has announced he’ll be running for Jackson City Council.

Marshall Brooks announced Thursday during a news conference at T.R. White Sportsplex that he plans to run for Jackson City Council District 2.

That seat is currently held by longtime Councilman Johnny Dodd.

Brooks spoke to us about issues he hopes to change if he were to win.

“All of our funds that we work for move north, move south. We have no place in east Jackson where we can spend our money to build our neighborhood up, and that’s what we need to do,” Brooks said.

Councilman Dodd has served on the Jackson City Council since 1999.

Andrea Givens-Moore is also running for the same District 2 seat.

Elections for the city of Jackson will be on May 7.
