Mississippi Democrats had a great Tuesday night too, winning majority of the mayoral races.

So, Democrats and good Independents won 14 of the 17 contested mayoral races in Mississippi? That is absolutely stellar! The article to which MPC linked, shows how amazingly close some of those races were.

Every vote matters!

Some of them were WAY closer than the Riggs/Griffin fight, like 40 votes ahead.

VERY good news. If we want to genuinely compete in the Magnolia State, we need to start somewhere.

Did they get a new Democratic state party chair in MS like we did with Anderson Clayton here in NC?

No. Cheikh Taylor has been Chairman since 2023. He serves in the Mississippi House as well.

Anderson also became chair of the NC Dem party in 2023. Big thing MS Dems have going against them is no early voting.
