State Auditor Shadrack White and Ag Commish Andrew Gipson issued the following statements in response to Attorney General Lynn Fitch announcing her gubernatorial bid yesterday.
State Auditor Shadrack White Campaign
Clinton Soffer, general consultant for the Shad White campaign, issued the following statement regarding the 2027 Governor's race:
"Auditor White is deployed overseas in the Middle East with the National Guard right now during this conflict with Iran. When he returns from his deployment, his focus will be on helping President Trump keep Republican control of Congress so he can continue delivering wins for the American people. Auditor White will have plenty to say about the Governor's race after the midterms."
Ag Commish Andrew Gipson
As I’ve travelled our great state over the last year, I’ve stated many times that I expect to be the most conservative candidate running to be Mississippi’s next Governor. I still believe that today. That said, I welcome Attorney General Lynn Fitch to the gubernatorial race. This campaign - and all Mississippi residents - deserve a spirited discussion about the issues, our records, and our conservative visions for the future. I welcome that discussion, and look forward to continuing to highlight my conservative record on issues such as safeguarding life and liberty, protecting our second amendment, lowering taxes, and expanding our God-given personal freedoms. Mississippi deserves authentic, conservative stewardship as the foundational quality of our next Governor. May the most conservative candidate prevail.

This will be interesting, to say the least. Have to hear Shad before any decision I make.
Holy crap we're screwed.
Shad is literally Dollar General JD Vance. Pass.
When he returns from his deployment, his focus will be on helping President Trump keep Republican control of Congress so he can continue delivering wins for the American people.
How does Shad have anything to do with Congress? Press release to think he is actually relevant?
Shadrack is a little guy on a big quest. He’s like a hobbit straight out of Tolkien’s World.
Smart guy, racking up two pensions at the same time.
Man, don't shade hobbits by associating them with Shad ....
Let the pissing contest begin!
I admire Shad's service and the fact that he is actually conservative. Pass on Lynn.

A Hobbit would not be so full of himself as to believe to be beyond his station. The point of the Hobbits was that they are the lowest and most humble of all people. And it was through this lowly humility that one of them proved to be worthy enough to bear the Ring to Mount Doom. A man who has the problem of believing himself to be the smartest man in the room is no Hobbit.
Any and all who invoke Trump's name have lost my vote right out of the gate.
Dollar General JD Vance is a bit too much. Dollar Tree is more like it.
I'd like The Hat to get the zoo, raze it, convert it to community vegetable plots that benefit those in West Jxn who will productively work the gardens. Wholesale the seed and water.
And they will just grow wacky weed for the locals
the great thing about Fitch running is the dems who want a female in office will be all bent out of shape having that choice BUT SHE'S A CONSERVATIVE...poor dems...
The locals that did nothing to maintain the community gardens would steal all the produce.
All the while talking about being for small government.
Krusatyr at 3:19, exactly, and as Ag Commissioner, where I wish he would stay! He will not get my vote for Governor.

In my scenario, it will become State owned garden plots, managed by Gipson or his designee. An incentive would be an award for most productive gardener. Many in Jackson would volunteer to start such a program. Helping people help themselves.
Picking crops to steal? Too much work for those thugs. They could rob a Dollar store in just a few minutes.
"Auditor White is deployed overseas in the Middle East with the National Guard right now during this conflict with Iran."
And the ayatollahs are trembling in fear because of this ....
Shad now is the time for you to be praying and worshipping a higher power while in a war zone and not thinking or kissing up to a man who cares nothing about you! My prayers are with you and your unit my brother. Stay safe and keep trump out of your mouth.
"During the conflict with Iran" sounds like one of the "Vietnam-era" a veterans like Danang Dick Blumethal.
Thanking the President for sending our best warfighter!
Lynn Fitch the AG is talking to the president as we speak trying to get your deployment extended for a whole year because you are the best!
Not the entire unit Shad, just you!
Shad please don’t go beyond the gates trying to be a hero or for clicks. We need you back home auditing old ladies.
Krustyar, what the hell authority would the Hat have to take the zoo? That is nothing to do with the state, its the City of Jackson's nightmare. Besides, the City with Soul might rather see it become basketball courts for the kids than something where folks would actually have to work for their benefits.
And, the Hat, just because he has a title that says something about agriculture doesn't necessarily have anything to do with growing food, other than a couple of blueberry bushes and three cows on his Simpson County 'farm'. He don't know nuttin' about raising crops (or birthing babies but his heritage would offer to help while Sherman was burning down the area around him)
9:09, LOL!! But thanks for the humor as I get ready for a nightcap. Those that know realize Shad had to beg, and eventually change services so that he could get 'deployed' so he could have it to be able to stick onto his resume that will be all over his pushcards next year.
His 'secret mission' that he claims keeps him or his staff from saying where he is shows how important he is to Trump's folly in Iran. I'm sure he will come back battlescared; hope he has his ears pinned back to protect his neck.
And, BTW, glad you waited until after work hours at the Auditor's office to put your hero worship online. Gotta keep up the ritual.
We are so screwed.
As a veteran, I admire Shad’s service. I worked with him one Summer when he was at Harvard Law. He is a really bright fellow. I will vote for him unless he professes allegiance to Trump, a sick man who is ruining the Republic. In that event, I will write in someone or stay home. I cannot stomach Fitch or Gibson, both of whom are Trumpsters with no real ideas of their own. And remember, Trump will be gone during most of the next Governor’s term.
Shad is nowhere near harm, that’s for certain. He’s a paper pusher, just like when he “practiced law”. His military service is nothing more than a resume builder for his political ambitions. Not knocking it, but let’s be honest. He’s not locked and loaded like his tough tweets want you to believe.
@8:35 PM: Yes, Lord. Shad, I really wanted you to be geniune. You've now shown you're no different than the other demons.
Damn, I didn’t know Shad was a war hero too.
So happy to see the comments about Trump supporters. Those of us moderate republicans find him to be an embarrassment. Yes, we voted for the less evil. Thanks to the Democrats and their nominee.
@3:56am - Did you just wake up from a 10 year slumber? Shad’s done that multiple times.
A JAG officer pretending to be a cool guy is a form of stolen valor. Come on man.
Cruise-Ater is so yesterday, in every sense of the word.
