Ford Misconceptions

By Kleinheider Posted on May 9, 2008 at 1:28 pm

The “quiet Ford”, Shelby County Commissioner Joe Ford reflects on his life in politics and talks about how his family is perceived:

He believes people have many misconceptions about his family.

“Sometimes we don’t know how to approach people,” he said. “A lot of people think that they don’t know how to approach us, but sometimes we’re shy approaching people ourselves.”

The top misconception?

“A lot of people think that we sit around and have meetings and talk about what seat, what we’re going to run for, what’s on the agenda today, what are we going to bring up in committee, and we don’t do that,” he said.

    Whatever misgivings I may have about his nephews, Joe Ford is one of the very nicest and most decent people in Memphis politics, and people around Memphis don’t take time to understand that.
