Solidarity in District 7: Commissioner Henri E. Brooks Endorsed by Teamsters Local 667

MEMPHIS, TN — As the fight for the future of District 7 intensifies, Commissioner Henri E. Brooks is proud to announce that she has received the official endorsement of Teamsters Local 667.

In a letter sent on behalf of James E. Jones, President, and Rod Motley, Political Coordinator, the Teamsters reaffirmed their support for Commissioner Brooks’s re-election to the Shelby County Board of Commissioners. This endorsement represents more than just a political nod; it is a powerful alliance between a lifelong advocate for justice and the hardworking men and women who keep Memphis moving.

A Partnership Rooted in Labor and Loyalty

Teamsters Local 667 is the backbone of the Mid-South’s labor force, representing workers across the freight, delivery, and industrial sectors. They are an organization that demands accountability, fair wages, and safe working conditions—values that have been the North Star of Henri Brooks’s 30-year career.

“I am deeply honored to have the support of President James E. Jones, Rod Motley, and the entire Teamsters Local 667 family,” said Commissioner Brooks. “In my next term, I will continue to stand as a firewall for the rights of workers. Whether it’s opposing legislation that threatens workplace bargaining units or ensuring that county-funded projects prioritize equitable employment, the Teamsters know they have a partner in me.”

Why This Matters for District 7

For the residents of District 7, this endorsement is a signal of strength. It proves that Henri Brooks is the candidate trusted by organized labor to protect the economic interests of the middle class.

As a former public school teacher and a veteran of the State Legislature, Henri understands that the strength of our community depends on the strength of our workers. With the Teamsters by her side, she is ready to continue her “Unbought and Unbossed” advocacy for:

• Fair Wages: Ensuring that PILOTs and TIFs translate into real economic performance for workers.

• Collective Power: Protecting the ability of families to negotiate for their well-being.

• Accountability: Ensuring that tax-funded agencies respect the dignity of every employee.

A Message to the Voters

Early voting is currently underway (April 15 – April 30), and the endorsement from Teamsters Local 667 serves as a timely reminder of what is at stake.

“The Teamsters don’t just back anyone,” Brooks added. “They back leaders who show up, do the work, and stay true to the people. I want to thank the Local 667 leadership for their confidence. Together, we will finish the work we started.”
