The Malone for Shelby County Mayor camp (#maloneformayor2014) escorted its candidate, Deidre Malone, to the Shelby County Election Commission at noon Monday and filed the petition that makes the former Shelby County Commissioner an official candidate for Shelby County Mayor.

“I can’t thank all of my supporters enough for their continued outpour of kindness and their commitment to this campaign,” said Malone to her supporters in the lobby of the commission offices.

“We are going to win this race one person at a time, and it starts with you and these 65 names on this official document,” she said, holding up the petition.
