Tamarques Porter

While growing up in Memphis, TN, in the Orange Mound community, Tamarques learned that education would be the gateway to a better life. Tamarques is running for Shelby County School Board because he will be the advocate that understands innovative education, technical education, trauma-sensitive learning, and is not beholden to special interest groups that often support school boards.

Tamarques knows the importance of education, community, and having positive male role models in our children’s life. Tamarques wants to help shape our children’s future by improving the literacy gap, teacher administration pay, and the school culture and the classroom learning environment.
