He has four children Brooke 18, Brittney 15, Hunter 10 and A.J. Jernigan. Keith says “One of the reasons I chose to give back to my county is the outpouring of support we had from the community when we lost my son A.J. Jernigan. I will never be able to payback all the support we got during this difficult time. I love McNairy County and would consider it an honor to serve as Assessor. I am currently serving in my second term as a county commissioner from the fourth district and have enjoyed serving McNairy County . The Assessor’s office is a very important position. The taxpayers deserve a person who will always have their needs in mind when conducting the day to day business. The Assessor is in charge of preparing the annual budget and working with the Mayor regarding the budget. The office must also work together with the Trustee and Register to keep the citizen’s property correctly documented in the records of the courthouse. I am capable and willing to carry out the duties of the office. My government and business experience qualifies me for the job. I will serve all of McNairy County in a trustful, efficient, and responsible way if elected Assessor. Please vote Keith Jernigan.
