The Regina Quinn for Mayor Campaign issued the following press release:
RESPONSE TO REPUBLIC GROUP'S POLL
JACKSON-- On
March 17, 2014, the Republic Group, LLC released a poll in which
voters were asked who they would be casting their vote for in the April 8, 2014 special election for Mayor of the City of Jackson.
With
a relatively small sampling of people, and little known about this
sample beyond their eligibility to vote, there is cause for concern
regarding the legitimacy of its findings. The timing of the poll is also
a concern, as it was conducted before many candidates had qualified
for the special election.
“My campaign for mayor did not begin
until a couple of days after Mayor Lumumba’s funeral. We did not
contact a single voter, purchase a single yard sign, nor did we discuss
any strategy for the election,” Quinn said. “Mayor Lumumba was a friend
and a mentor, and I refused to engage in any campaign activities out of
respect for Mayor Lumumba and his family, and our grieving city.”
Perhaps
the most disconcerting element of the controversial poll is the group
that conducted it: the Republic Group. This company has close ties
to one of the campaigns the poll deemed to be a front-runner.
"The
Regina Quinn campaign refutes the findings of the Republic Group's
poll. Our campaign is a person-to-person, block-to-block, and
ward-to-ward campaign that spans the city. Attorney Quinn is connecting
with voters in Jackson's communities every day--talking to citizens and
hearing their concerns," said campaign manager Tyrone Hendrix.
“Other campaigns may have gotten a
head start, but our momentum has increased tremendously," said Hendrix.
"The only finding of the poll that we can agree with is that Jackson
voters are largely undecided. Our campaign looks forward to earning each
and every one of their votes in the coming weeks heading into the April
8th election."

Free the Land by any means necessary!
I thought/hoped she had decided not to run--quite a checkered background--just more noise and confusion!!
Is this the lady who filed for bankruptcy twice?
Bullshit re the bankruptcy comment. Is that worse for the city than electing a man who advocated a separate world for blacks and exclusion of whites with everlasting reparations and unending benefits for anybody who could prove a scintilla of negro heritage?
Of course Harvey never had a job in his life other than as a grant writer and take a look at Frank Melton's resume. Junior has no work experience to speak of and Baretta-Simeone has done what in her lifetime?
I don't know her from Adam, but, she is correct in her comments about the poll. Checkered background my ass.
6:03 - OK. So she is the lady who filed for bankruptcy twice. Just wanted to make sure. Thank you.
It is relevant to note that MANY people today (not typically readers of this blog) actually RESPECT those that have SCAMMMED the system--ESPECIALLY if they screwed whitey in da process!!
Don't shoot the messenger RQ, don't shoot the messenger! You never mattered.
Madam, you may have your own opinion. You may not have your own facts.
Scientific??? Who the hell knows the science behind a poll anyway?? You people kill me!
