Former Mississippi Speaker of the House of Representatives Phillip Gunn is all in on running for Governor in 2027. He announced on Facebook:
I’m proud of my record of helping bring new life to Mississippi. Now, I’m running for Governor because it’s time we make it the envy of the nation.And I hope you’ll join me: philipgunn.org
Let's see: Gunn and Gipson announced they are running for Governor with Delbert Hosemann, Shad White and Lynn Fitch expected to throw their hats in the ring. There is also the specter of Tommy Duff. What will he do? 2027 is going to be fun.

“I’m proud of my record of doing back-room deals to go against the votes and will of Mississippi voters and change the state flag. Don’t worry, our new flag will be as ugly and ridiculous as how most people in Mississippi dress for social events”
No thanks. At this point, the field of candidates is not real inspiring.
With those 4 politicians kingfish named, I sure hope Duff runs.
What a loser. How could you get excited to vote for this absolute do-nothing spineless loser. Tommy Duff, please save us!
I look forward to voting against him. He raised my taxes.
Who is he?
Did Gunn ever have a real job?
I’m proud of my record in vetoing Gunn’s governorship.
If nothing else at this point in life has given you sufficient motivation to move out of Mississippi, please consider the next field of gubernatorial candidates, both R and D.
I will stay home and not vote before I would vote for this RINO
In his most recent ad, Gunn projects himself as a prophet sent by The Lord. At least 'The Hat' has ministerial credentials.
Too little education , Too much religion .....
No. Just No.
Nope, just sucking on the public teet.
Aside from the state flag mess, why do y'all hate Gunn so much?
Yeah Duff is just what we need, another billionaire in charge. Things are working out so well with the current one, why not elect another? Goddamn this state is stupid.
I'll wait to see the complete list of candidates but while serving as Speaker I did appreciate Gunn's strong arming of the House Democrats versus Hosemann's weak appeasement of same in the Senate.
Nope .
Nyet.
"Aside from the state flag mess, why do y'all hate Gunn so much?'
Meet the new Tate, same as the old Tate.
Is he coming out of the closet and running as a Democrat or continue to pretend to be a republican?
Homer Stokes for guvnor. Sweep this state clean!
Mr. Gunn -- if this thread is any indication of your chances in the upcoming election -- I advise you to take your campaign donations and comfortably retire in the small bedroom community of your choice. Your chance of winning the election is slim and none -- and slim just voted for Duff.
one only needs a flap like the flag issue to vote for someone else, particularly in a hotly contested race with a bevy of lackluster candidates. This is like a beauty contest in Satartia.
Did he say envy of the nation? HAHAHA
So from "thank God for Mississippi" to "envy of the nation" is political wordsmithing at its finest -- good luck Mr. Career Politician
The BEST candidate who's announced so far. Prove me wrong.
I'm voting for Shad.
@10:34: I didn't know that Tater was a billionaire. I don't think that the Orange Man is our governor.
Define BEST -- one could argue Duff may be the best from a business perspective, Shad from a productivity perspective, Gipson maybe from business and productivity. Gunn is just a politician. He really hasn't done much at the state level outside the legislature. Prove me wrong.
I know Mr. Gunn. Although I disagree with some of his policies, you will not find a better principled person in MS. He qualifies as a “virtuous” leader—family, community, honesty, and integrity.
"The BEST candidate who's announced so far. Prove me wrong. "
It is impossible to disprove an opinion. That is the nature of opinions. Your comment is an opinion. Therefore, I can't "prove" you wrong. But that does not mean you are right.
I realize Charlie Kirk scored a lot of points with "prove me wrong." But he was also mostly debating with stoned children, i.e., college students.
you crack me up, 1:35!
@2:35pm what we do NOT need is more of the "principled" crowd. If I hear "principled conservative" in a campaign ad one more time I'm gonna puke. "Principled" = Total Pussy. We need a bulldog like Desantis to set this state straight. We need a total moratorium on criminal justice here. We need a governor that will attack the gangs and kill some of these savages destroying our little towns. Then MS will flourish and be the envy of America.
Using some outdated slang from the 70s: Right On!
I wish a smart single mother raising 3 kids would run. Then there would be no debt and no misappropriation of funds (taxes and law suits won).
