Charley has a B.A. in History from Memphis State.I continue to run for office because I am troubled that our city has becoming increasingly divided, both socially and politically. Charley Burch is a registered Democrat. As a friend of unions and labor, when I am elected I will defend the rights and benefits of our Police, Firefighters and all Memphis City Employees. When elected, I will also focus on repairing our city’s infrastructure, including public roads and services. I am against higher property taxes and I will work with all members of City Council to arrive at a fair and balanced budget. Furthermore, if one of my constituents brings an issue to my awareness that I disagree with, I will still present it to committee for consideration because my opinion is not as important as the voice of our Citizens and my Constituents.
