Jackson Jambalaya

Not much. Most are probably just looking for a job...or a chance to be on T.V.
Good luck Jackson.

Melinda Todd would be an asset to the city. I used to work with her.

seeing as how local politics is nothing more than a popularity contest, we know who will be winning ward 2

It should be a state law that if an elected official leaves office before the end of his term to accept another job then he should have to foot the bill for the special election.

If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve. However, I do believe I will start a go-fund-me page.

The Magnificent Seven-

Other than Tyrone, does anybody have any knowledge about any one of these wannabees?

Looks to me like the average IQ on the council will decrease - and a chance it might even decrease from the current six person group (sans MP Jr)

I’m hoping Tilden wins just to hear Howard Ballou try and say the name.

NOT ONE OF THEM IS QUALIFIED. JACKSON IS JUST GOING DOWN THE TUBE!

Happy Valentines Day ladies

Damn, yall is some sour folks.

More selfless folks wanting to do public service for the good of their city. No doubt they will waive all wages and benefits which would be used to fix potholes around the radical city.

Go Tyrone!

James Paige is the most qualified for this position. He has the common sense needed to get Jackson back on track. He’s not a career politician. He has law enforcement experience and business experience and a love and hope for Jackson that baffles me. But if I lived there, he would have my vote. Please check him out and don’t group him with the pack. He did run for this position last time; and If he had won instead of Melvin, I am confident Jackson would be better off and I know you wouldn’t be having a special election.

VOTE FOR JAMES PAIGE

And, no, I’m not related to him or have anything to gain by posting this. And this is the first and probably last time I’ll post on any site.

Abgelique Lee is energetic, young and highly qualified and her family has been supportive of the city for many decades.

Spend six seconds on James Paige's facebook page and tell me one thing that makes him different than the morons we already have.

Angelic Lee would be great
Dr. R.k. Moore would be great
Tilden would be great

This should be an amusing campaign.
A fairgrounds cage match between the 39206 & 39213 "stars".

But I do feel for Tyrone.

He won big, then lost his title . . .
Now he's back on the Saturday Night High School Gym circuit.

Kind of like Cowboy Bill Watts, Skandor Akbar and the Spoiler at Mendenhall High around 1978.

Tyrone was a failure as sheriff. There is NO reason he won't do just as well on the council. Loo

"And this is the first and probably last time I’ll post on any site."

You must be a true politician. Not even elected and already telling a falsehood.

It really doesn’t matter. It’s like the Dems adding seats to the House of Representatives in DC, they have the majority anyway. The city council is basically 6-1 for the most part. The 6 really don’t matter. They all vote the same.

"He has the common sense needed to get Jackson back on track."

Please, somebody...anybody...take a second and define 'back on track'.

The only difference any of these office holders, including mayor, ever makes is in who and which family friends get jobs down to city hall.

You miss the point of being on City Council, 8:53. It's a springboard...a gateway, if you will, to either running for mayor of the Bored-New-City or the County Board of Supervisors, perhaps even high sheriff or judge. These elected leaders have years to take the mic and be heard loud, wide and often as they express their opinions, hopes and dreams.

What is the annual salary for a city councilperson?
