I am running for Shelby County Juvenile Court Clerk.
The Platform: Everyday People Make Change.
Meet the Candidate:
Patriece Minner is a proud Memphis transplant who brought her small-town values from Missouri to the Bluff City in 2002. After falling in love with Memphis during childhood visits, she chose to build her life here—drawn to its history, hospitality, music, and culture.
From humble beginnings, Patriece is a lifelong public servant and career social worker committed to justice, equity, and community empowerment. Her work and volunteerism reflect a deep compassion for people and a steadfast dedication to service.
Through her professional experience, Patriece has seen firsthand how broken systems fail children, families, and marginalized communities. Rather than accept the status quo, she has consistently stepped up to challenge injustice and advocate for meaningful change.
Her visionary leadership helped drive reform at the Juvenile Court of Memphis & Shelby County, where she is presently employed and has helped to expand diversion programs, protect juvenile rights, and created reforms that prioritize accountability and opportunity over incarceration; further, these efforts gave much needed relief to overworked and ignored staff at Juvenile Court. Guided by faith and a belief in People Over Politics, Patriece continues to serve Memphis with compassion, courage, and a commitment to meaningful change.
