01 · The Myth
The "Commissioner" Myth
linkedin.com/in/jerredprice — archived profileExhibit
Direct Quote from Bio Headline:
"Former Commissioner - City of Memphis 🏛️"
Listed alongside President - Downtown Neighborhood Assoc. and Almost Elton John — presenting an appointed volunteer seat on the Memphis City Beautiful Commission as an elected municipal commissioner title.
The Reality
The title "Former Commissioner" describes an appointed volunteer seat — not an elected office. Here's what the record actually shows:
- 1
Appointed, not elected.
He served on the Memphis City Beautiful Commission — a volunteer advisory body members are appointed to, not voted into.
- 2
Ran for City Commission — and lost.
He mounted a race for Memphis City Commission and was not elected.
- 3
Ran for County Commission — and lost that too.
A separate bid for Shelby County Commission likewise failed at the ballot.
- 4
0 for 2 at the ballot box.
Two competitive races, zero wins — yet the 'Commissioner' title persists in his bios.
An appointed volunteer role is public service. It is not a mandate from the voters — and calling oneself "Commissioner" without that qualifier leaves out the two losses that define the record.

The Two-State Shuffle
How can you run for office in Tennessee and Arkansas in the very same election year — while illegally holding onto a Memphis neighborhood presidency?
Tennessee RecordMay 2026
Primary · May 2026
Shelby County Board of Commissioners — District 8
Memphis, TN
A candidacy on the May 2026 primary ballot for the Shelby County Board of Commissioners, District 8 — an office that by Tennessee law requires bona fide, established primary residency inside Shelby County, TN.
Legal Requirement
Continuous established residency in Shelby County, TN.
Fact Check · The Legal Paradox
You cannot legally maintain primary residency in two different states simultaneously to qualify for public office.

Leachville City Council — Ward 1
Leachville, AR
A public campaign running for Leachville City Council Ward 1 in November 2026 — claiming he resides in Leachville, AR and flashing an Arkansas license issued July 16, 2026.
Municipal Rule
Requires established ward residency (typically 6 mo+ prior to vote).

The Breakdown: Caught in His Own Words
When confronted by critics pointing out he does not live in Arkansas, Jerred attempted to shut down detractors on Facebook Live by claiming:
"I came home four years ago..."
Document Evidence · Arkansas Driver's License
Date Issued
07/16/2026
Address on Card
900 Winchester Rd, Leachville, AR
Significance
State-issued proof of Arkansas residency — brandished on camera to rebut residency critics.
By trying to prove his deep roots to Leachville voters with a "four years ago" timeline, he instantly detonated his defense for every Tennessee office and Memphis role he has claimed since 2022. Here is the legal breakdown:
A
The Claim: "I came home four years ago..."
Stated publicly on camera to Leachville constituents to establish long-term local residence and bat down questions about being an out-of-town carpetbagger.
B
The Memphis Reality: 2026 County Commission Primary Fraud
If he moved back to Arkansas four years ago (circa 2022): His May 2026 candidacy for Shelby County Board of Commissioners District 8 in Memphis, TN flatly violated Tennessee statutory residency requirements. You cannot run for a county commission seat in Tennessee while by your own admission living in Leachville, Arkansas for four years.
C
The DNA Reality: Ongoing Violation of Article III, Section 1
His Arkansas driver's license — issued 07/16/2026 and displaying 900 Winchester Rd, Leachville, AR — proves he does not reside within downtown Memphis boundaries. Under Article III, Section 1 and Section 5 of the Downtown Neighborhood Association bylaws, his presidency automatically vacated when he moved. Yet he continues to sign statements and issue press releases as Memphis DNA President.
Summary Verdict
Either he lied to Leachville voters when claiming he's lived in Arkansas for four years — or he lied under oath on Tennessee ballot certification forms in 2026.
Direct Violation of DNA Bylaws
Still Acting as Memphis DNA President
Article III, Section 1
"The Board of Directors shall consist of 11 active members who reside within the Association's boundaries."
Article III, Section 5
"If the President moves out of the Association's boundaries… the Vice President will temporarily assume the position."
The Fact Check
With a July 16, 2026 Arkansas Driver's License establishing his home in Leachville, AR — far outside downtown Memphis — he continues to represent and issue official statements on behalf of the Downtown Neighborhood Association of Memphis as its President.
By the DNA's own plain text bylaws, the Presidency automatically vacates to the Vice President the instant the occupant relocates out of the downtown footprint.

Fact Check The Residency Paradox
A candidate cannot maintain legal primary residency in Shelby County, TN to satisfy Tennessee election laws while simultaneously claiming primary residency in Leachville, AR to satisfy Arkansas election laws.
The statutory timelines directly contradict each other.
05 · The Contradiction
The DNA Takeover & Non-Profit Contradiction
01 · Dues Collected
Members pay into a 'non-profit'
The Downtown Neighborhood Association of Memphis collects membership dues from residents — solicited under the language of a community non-profit.
02 · Status Lapsed
Tax-exempt status admitted as lapsed
Yet the same organization has acknowledged its IRS tax-exempt status lapsed — meaning those dues were taken in without the exemption it implied.
03 · The Body
Downtown Neighborhood Assn. of Memphis
A neighborhood association operating as a membership organization for a defined Memphis downtown footprint, with governance set by its board.
Highlight · Exposed Provision
The 2024 "Founding Fathers Committee" Bylaws
The 2024 bylaws create a self-styled "Founding Fathers Committee" — a clause granting the original board permanent, irrevocable takeover powers over the association.
Effect
The original board can override any future vote, dissolve any elected committee, and reassert control at will — permanently.
The Problem
A "neighborhood" association collecting dues while operating under self-granted permanent governance powers is a structural takeover, not a democracy.
Dues without active tax exemption + permanent self-appointed takeover powers = a non-profit in name only, and a board that cannot be removed by the members funding it.
