Jackson Jambalaya

This is two weeks old. There's a new list.

Thinking Jackson would do a lot better WITHOUT a Mayor.

the absolute best leader for Jackson would be kenneth stokes. Yes, i understand he is a little eccentric, and he is about as well spoken as I am which isn't saying much, but he is an honest guy who genuinely cares about these people. Kenneth isnt slick and Jackson needs as far away from slick as possible. So kenneth if you read this blog, come on man........

Give Wade a shot at it, the state and city are 25 years behind. Let him try to shake it up, You need small local investment , high education standards , dedicated public officials addressing crime and the community’s needs. These bribery and federal funds theft scandals hurt just as much as crime.

We need a business-minded mayor to pull this shithole out of its downward spiral. We need someone with a credible past. We need a mayor with a name to attach to the City of Jackson's administration that can attract people and business-owners and convince them to invest in Jackson with the assurance that reliable city-services will be available and crime is being battled effectively.

Oh who am I kidding. This place is fucked because no one cares.

so wherevis kim wade?

Someone misspelled John Horhn. Says a lot about the education level here

Kenneth sweats like a jersey bull. Arteries probably look like his ward’s sewer system. Would probably be dead by August.

Even if he files, Banks is DONE.

Since he has to file his campaign finance reports that are overdue, how likely is it that Chokwe will even file to run?

Reasons Lil Choke will likely just stay home and go to the mattresses:
1. His campaign finance reports from past years contain evidence of corruption;
2. Even if he slipped out of his bribery and money laundering and conspiracy corruption, voters of West Jackson would not suffer his BS any more;
3. His wife and kids will wave goodbye when he is shackled and transported to prison, which is a forgone conclusion after a year of stall maneuvres, and
4. The Mayor does not want to be barraged with constant scandal questions by other mayoral csndidates who want to rub his nose in his mess.

Is Kim Wade actually running?

I would vote for him. He needs to hurry up if he does run. At least let everyone know if he decided not to, so someone else can throw their name in the hat.

Would love Rodney DePriest to have a shot, supposedly has a lot of support from black Jackson areas through his church service work.

Like maggots looking to feed off a dead cow they line up. Only a very few will even begin to change the direction Jackson is headed. If they are Democrats it's unlikely. Same ole same ole.

Why not go all the way crazy Jackson? Elect Wyatt Emmerich mayor. Lives in Jackson. Absolutely Full Common Sense brilliant. Honest. True Christian. Knows a lot of stuff.

This was published today. The date at the top is January 24.

It's no coincidence that Jackson is such a shithole. Look at the list. There's one republican on there. Historically every city in American that's run by democrats is a shithole.

@2:29, give us a break. He's absolutely full of something but not what you note.

To be fair the bottom ranked states in education are Ar.-La-Ms.and West Virginia all run by republicans maybe there is only one republican on the list because some of them can't read.

No, 2:30. Today is not the date published on the initial/original post.

3:41 Ahhhh... republicans don't run the likes of JPS and pretty sure it's the same in those other states too. Nice try though.

Quint Withers would be such a win for Ward 7.

The citizens of Jackson need to check their credit report.

Quint Withers? Certainly you jest! From the four listed, he couldn't be the worst - but only because they would all tie for it.

Certainly there will be a good choice come out of the darkness over the next seven days and put a reasonable person on the Council from this important area of Jackson. Certainly!

I and my neighbors are impressed by what we see from Corinthian Sanders thus far. His decision to transition from Republican to Democrat seems like a practical move, and I've always seen him as a voice of reason—straightforward and no-nonsense, none of that "black for a living" crap. Ward 7 doesn't need a placeholder candidate; it needs someone who can bridge divides and unite the community. On record, Corinthian is the only candidate who has been consistently civically involved and vocal in our community for years, and that speaks volumes about his dedication. @Kingfish, I've heard you two interact on a couple occasions, especially about that zoo lol what are your thoughts?

Elect a patriot. Make the Pledge Great Again.

@2:31 AM- Corinthian also ran for mayor as a libertarian years ago, and ran for city council as a democrat in Ward 5 (despite now saying he’s been a lifelong resident of Ward 7). He ran as a democrat for MS House district 72 in 2015. I’m not sure he’s been consistently involved in the community other than consistently running for office.

2:29pm
Wyatt Emerich is not the Conservative he was ten years ago. He and Stokes are beyond their energetic, productive years. Emmerich, however, deserves kudos for his past role in defeating the bio fuels energy scam, but probably sells few if any NorthSide Sun subscriptions in South and West Jackso, so is an unknown there.

@11:19 AM, 01/25/2025, so what? What have you ran for? I'm pretty sure Google told you that Corinthian was a college student at JSU when he first ran for office or you just intentionally disregarded that. Argue about policy and his stance not because he show you up in exercising his civic duty.

Small but very grating potatoes:
1st. Have run, not have ran. So: "What have you run for?", OK?
2nd. We have no civic duty whatsoever to run for office.

3:41,

Then why are the red counties better on state tests, etc.?

And where would Jackson be without Cap Police and JXN Water aka where would it be if just under Dem leadership with City of Jackson water and JPD?
If you give me a bs repsponce then it probably means you don’t actually know Jackson.
