TL;DR

Memphis residents express concern over the ousting of Democratic state representative Justin J. Pearson due to gun protests, while Pearson confirms plans to run for re-election. Memphis could lose funding for major projects if Pearson is re-appointed, as leaders in Nashville threatened to withhold millions of dollars in state funding for projects in the Memphis area if commissioners were to reappoint Pearson. Pearson also confirmed a meeting with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss gun violence issues.
