ERIN (BELL) WELBORN

The Conservative Republican for Shelby County

I am excited to run. I have spent nearly my entire career working in the Juvenile Court as a practicing attorney representing parents, grandparents, children, and as a Guardian ad Litem representing the best interests of children. My experience has prepared me to provide an efficient, fair, and honest court process for the children and families of Shelby County.
