It appears some dirty tricks are taking place in the runoff to replace Jackson Ward 2 City Councilman Melvin Priester, Jr. Someone is apparently trying to "Tom" Angelique Lee. This flyer was dropped all over Ward 2 last weekend.
There is no "Republican Club" as cited in the "letter." It simply does not exist. The only P.J. Wilson we know is the Reverend P.J. Wilson, Sr. He is a buddy of Kenneth Stokes and hardly a Republican. Just enter "Down with the white folks" in the search box on this site. Hardly a GOP sympathizer. The letter is a complete fabrication.
Hinds County Republican Party Chairman Pete Perry issued this statement to the media:
As I am sure that Speaker Gunn's office has already informed you, I want to do so as well regarding this so-called endorsement letter.
As Chairman of the Hinds County Republican Party Executive Committee, I can assure you that (1) there is no such organization existing today as the "Hinds County Republilcan Club"; (2) that there has been no endorsement of any candidate in the Special Election for Jackson City Council Ward 2; (3) that I have no idea who the person is that signed this letter, but can state with absolute certainty that he/she has no authority to speak for the Hinds County Republican Party or the MS State Republican Party; and (4) if anybody did send a contribution to the MS State Republican Party as requested on this letter, it would be either returned to the contributor or placed in the Party's general fund - it would not be spent on behalf of any candidate's campaign in this Special Election for the City of Jackson.
Your email suggests "Dirty Politics" - to which I would agree. But it was not done by the Republican Party. I would assume, considering the makeup of the electorate in Ward 2 that it was done to benefit Ms. Lee's opponent rather than Ms. Lee in which case it would be extremely dirty politics.
Another, much dirtier flyer dropped over the weekend as well but you will have to go find your own copy. To say it is slanderous is an understatement although a certain decoder will probably post it himself.
Tomorrow should be fun.

republican 'club'????????........lets see you explain that one p j
Lying, cheating, and stealing elections....it's what the dems do.
Democrat motto: "The end justifies the means, always."
This election should have been on the presidential ballot since it is also a no-win situation for the voters. Seems like these buffoons would save some of this effort for a race worth winning. Pure B.S.
Damn, I wish she was a Republican, maybe she could show Jack-town how to save some of the money they no longer have. The damn democrats only know how to spend it! Too bad.
Tom-foolery?
It's politics - what does anyone expect?
It is the only way they know to operate. Never knew one who was anywhere near honest, or ethical.
She voted in Madison earlier in the year...that's not in dispute. So...she should be charged or disqualified to run.
Any other commentary is moot.
The sad fact remains that a tremendous about of that "community" will always believe such.
What's interesting to me is why are they are even worried about a republican ?
Is the fat man getting nervous?
Come to think of it, Stoke's trademark Sunday afternoon "press conferences" have become very lame over the last year.
This flyer appears to be a month old and you're saying they were just dropped this past weekend?
Looks like the dog delivered it!
11:16 they were lost in the mail, like some ballots
Did anything ever result from the investigation into who placed noosez around the state capitol as a comment about lynching ahead of the 2018 runoff between Espy & Hyde-Smith?
8:10, you actually expect a true response to that, if done, investigation.
Anybody seen Greg Brand lately? By the way, she never voted in Madison. Try to keep up.
What’s rich is the fact the Democratic Party thinks their constituents are dumb enough to believe this. They are basically saying their voting base is a bunch of uneducated people who can’t think for themselves and are a bunch of puppets conditioned to vote against whitey and Republicans, even if it’s not in their best interest. Things that make you go hmmmmm. Talk about some #southernscrutinty. Bet she won’t post about it though.
12:38 That's sarcasm, correct? If not, you should know that the Democrats DO believe that about their constituency, and they know they're right!
And Democrats wonder why racism still exists. Democrats need racism to win elections.
8:10, good question. I bet security cameras showed a lot. I bet they have been identified, but law enforcement has been told to look the other way. Odd that there is absolutely no security around the Capitol building at night.
12:38 I couldn't agree more. But I will also say that everywhere you use the term Democratic you could say Republican and vice versa. Same with whitey and blackie. Both parties are full of shit in case you missed it.
Sad to say, Stokes is supporting Lee..
" They are basically saying their voting base is a bunch of uneducated people who can’t think for themselves and are a bunch of puppets conditioned to vote against whitey and Republicans,"
Yep.
That plan has worked of years. Why should the Democrats stop now ?
I'll give em credit.
They do understand the cliche "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Conversely, the Republicans are running around in circles (like a group of clowns at a circus).
Kingfish,
It's 8:30pm and none of the local media outlets have any election results listed. Have you seen anything?
The Madison Country resident won.
I for one look forward to the impending drama. No more boring city council meetings.
2:53, she is a wannabe big deal nobody. In it for notoriety. What a joke.
