Secretary Hosemann statement on the Passing of Congressman Alan Nunnelee
“Mississippi
has lost a statesman, patriot, long-time public servant and valued
leadership for our future and for our country. Rarely does one
individual
possess these talents. Alan possessed them all. Lynn and I are
praying for Tori and his family.”

Jackson, MS—“Our prayers are with U.S. Congressman Alan Nunnelee's family,” said Speaker of the House Philip Gunn. “He was an honorable
leader and our friend from Clinton. We will miss him dearly. May he rest in peace.”
Statement from Rep. Steve Holland Regarding the Death of Congressman Alan Nunnelee
Jackson, MS—“Alan
and I were at opposite ends of the political spectrum, but I always
found him to be a gentleman, a patriot, a devoted
public servant and a family man,” said Rep. Holland (D-Plantersville).
“We shared the Public Health Chairmanships jointly for four years, and I
found him principled, stoic, studious and stalwart. My heart bleeds for
his wife, family and all of us who respected
this outstanding public servant and model citizen.”

Nunnelee's leadership will be missed. A fire breathing conservative compared to Gregg Harper.
In a few months as the cards get played everyone will learn why Whitwell moved to Oxford. You can always count on the establishment Republicans for coronations.
Whitwell will make an excellent Congressman, should he decide to run. EYHO nobody.
What a wonderful Mississippian Alan Nunnelee was! Can't believe those who are taking the opportunity of this day to talk politics. Certainly does not incline me toward their candidate. My prayer for blessings on his family who will miss him dearly as will we all.
Mike Tagert, the current transportation commissioner for the Northern District, would make an excellent Congressman.
The Repugnanticans ain't running Whitwell for Congress. They moved him up there to be the Haley owned replacement for the State Legislator that Boss Hogg has already annointed as Nunnelee's replacement. It is all rigged. Just watch.
1:27 said it well. Leave politics for another day. Gads! Mississippi has lost a respected voice. Have a little respect.
Yikes! I knew Alan is college. He was fearless who didn't mind doing the right thing even if the "groovy" people laughed and scorned him.
This isn't about politics. We have lost a good guy.
A terrible loss for Mississippi and for all who knew Alan. Sincerest condolences to his family.
It is all rigged. Just watch.
MSGOP has known that Congressman Nunnelee was terminal for a long time. What they didn't know was the when.
After McDaniel's showing the establishment Republicans are scared to death that DeSoto County will produce a conservative with the ability to fundraise that the party apparat doesn't control.
Get ready for fireworks as the Party elites work to silence the voices of the rank-and-file voters yet again.
If Jim Hood ever had an eye on Congress this could be the time to make a move. He'd win that seat going away and then springboard right into the special election to replace Cochran.
Congressman Jim Hood and then Senator Jim Hood.
I haven't ever met someone who knew Alan and didn't like and respect him. They may have disliked his politics, but he treated everyone with decency and loved his family. Mississippi is better having people like Alan in charge.
Republican operatives already distributing Barbour machine talking points regarding Nunnelee replacement.
R.I.P. Mr. Nunnelee. I've never known of white people to use the term 'passed', but that's beside the point.
The comments here are refreshing in that one man is so well rembered. That is uplifting in so many ways.
Alan Nunnelee was one of the few true Republicans in Mississippi before the party was bastardized to only do the bidding of the 3rd world dictator's lobbyist.
Barbour could not elect anyone when he was at the top of his game. Now people run from him.
I dare say that Jackson Jambalaya has morphed into Mississippi's free speech juggernaut.
Kudos to the Proprietor!!!!!

Glad that you were able to express that thought. I too, am happy that I am able to disagree!
Would you care to discuss why you think that this website is the "worst thing to ever happen to Missisippi"?
Your world must be extremely limited.
"R.I.P. Mr. Nunnelee. I've never known of white people to use the term 'passed', "
OK, well I've known thousands of white people who have said someone "passed away".
Po-tay-to, Po-tah-to.
Passed is a term used by black folk to refer to the demise of a black person.
Passed away is a term usually used by white people in reference to the death of a white person.
Nunnelee was white. Kingfish is white. Nunnelee passed away.
Nunnelee stepped on plenty of people during hid political ascent. Although I am sad for his family, the fact is that he was a successful politician, which requires a certain amount of collateral damage to innocent people in the name of building power. He was no saint.

OMG. A "RINO"! You see, Bubba, KingFish is "in the bag" fer them 'Stablishmint" Republicans.
Tea Party, go crawl back under the rock you slithered out from to spew venom. Losers.

You are absolutely correct. Very astute. The journalist running this operation is the worst thing ever to happen to the many scoundrels, crooks, urban brigands and politicos in Mississippi who do not want any public spotlight shined on their corruptions, crimes and misdeeds.
What is an 'urban brigand'? And stop posting as anon, KF!
KF doesn't post anonymously. But DonnerKay does. Here at JJ.
