I have always felt a sense of responsibility to give back to my community, and I can think of no better way than to take on a role of a public servant.”

Huh. I figured she'd run against Gerald again and let Patton run for the legislature.
Oh no. Good luck Ridgeland and good luck Gluckstadt if she is elected. She is Queen Mary’s anointed one. Electing her would be the same as sending Mary Hawkins to the House. Horrible. Isn’t there somebody else who would actually represent people, not just serve at the Mayor’s pleasure?
If Jill is Mary's anointed one then everyone drive up to Madison and look around to see how clean that city is. I'm voting for the anointed one.
In a way, I hate to hear this. I had hoped she would run again against that scoundrel, Gerald Steen. He barely beat her last time and would not beat her again. I wish her the best in this pursuit but we badly need somebody to send Steen packing. He is as conflicted as possum chasing a bear in heat.
You dunces who claim people are puppets of the Madison mayor are full of it. For months you claimed Baxter and Jones, newly elected to the Madison County Board, were Hawkins puppets. That proved to be utter stupidity. Her only puppets, if she has any, are her immediate subordinates on the city payroll. Your idiotic remarks about this woman being Hawkins' puppet have no basis in fact. If you think they do, step up and prove it. Otherwise, you're nothing but farts in a whirlwind.
With a resounding POP, there went Billingsley's balloon...
the poster @12:16 has to be Don Drane
I don't know Jill Ford, but I would vote for her over Gerald Steen because Steen is a con-artist. Since Ms. Ford has decided to run for the legislature, who will challenge Steen? On the Madison County Board of Supervisors we have Gerald Steen (savvy politician who is a scoundrel), Paul Griffin (looking out for his peoples), Sheila Jones (actually trying to do the right things for the right reasons), Trey Baxter (IQ of 50, worthless, and doesn't understand the job), David Bishop (tries to play both sides of the fence).
I'll vote for Jill Ford. She will actually do what she believes instead of wetting her finger and holding it in the air to discern the direction of the political winds.
The only downside of a Ford win is that she can't run against Gerald Steen next time.
Mayor Mary haters will hate.
Ford will play the political game to have a seat at the table. She won’t buck the Republican Establishment.
I will vote for Jill Ford. I don't know her, but read her Facebook posts and like what I see.
Hey 12:17, Just remember "what ya see ain't always what ya get".
I’ve known Jill for probably 20 years. Rest assured she can and will make the difficult decisions when she believes it’s the right thing to do for her district. Why do you think that all stops were pulled out against her when she ran for supervisor? Someone was afraid she was gonna turn their apple basket over. I still want the Republican Party to explain why they did not call her, as they promised, when they counted the absentee ballots. I’m not convince she actually lost to Steen in 2016.
Sure wish she would've beat Steen.
Bet someone will run against him and WIN!
Fear Not Friends! Steens has the support of the entire Ridgeland Board of Alderpersons (save one), so there's that. He be bringin' home the bacon (and the asphalt).
12:19 PM, the only balloon popping is yours. Billingsley doesn't live in the district.
What did he ever do to you? You dig at him every time you get a chance. If you're that obsessed you should at least know where he lives.
