Posted below are the campaign finance reports for the Jackson Mayoral candidates in the Democratic Primary to be held on April Fool's Day. Yours truly could only take pictures of them. To make things easier for the readers, the summaries on the first page are posted first, then the same first page and contributions will be posted below. Enjoy.

There must be a big greasy ROI for a Jackistan mayor to justify investing $100,000 or more of your own money.
Why submit a report when there are no consequences? Right?
and this little piggy had none
Why were you only allowed to take pictures of the reports?
Has everyone enjoyed watching Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba‘s commercial to be reelected mayor of Jackson?
Everyone who shows up in the commercial is from out of state. Why is that Mayor Lumumba? Could you not find a single Jacksonian to support you?
The commercial claims that homicides have fallen the last 3 years. Let’s really look at that true claim.
In 2018 there were 84 homicides.
In 2019 there were 83 homicides
In 2020 there were 133 homicides.
In 2021 there were 160 homicides.
In 2022 there were 138 homicides.
In 2023 there were 118 homicides.
In 2024 there were 111 homicides
Congratulations Mayor, you own the top seven worst years for homicides. Yes, it is true homicides have declined for three years, but it is still worse than when you first took office.
Congratulations Mayor. Jackson has led the nation with its per capita homicide rate for the past four years.
With the decline in the population, I’d be interested in seeing the murder rate per capita.
The Jackson murder RATE is 77 per 100,000
Chicago's #1 ranked murder rate is 21 per 100,000
My question is where did over $27,000 of Tim's contributions go to? Was he already in the hole before January?
6:54, what did you want him to do, walk out with the originals?
For some perspective, if I recall correctly, there was an article in the Clarion Ledger in 1993 stating that both Dale Danks and Kane Ditto each raised and spent more than $600,000 on their campaigns. 32 years ago.
There was an option; file a public records request and wait several days for the city to make copies and charge for having made them. But, public records laws do allow in person viewing of documents, and while doing so you can now --- thanks to our so-called 'new technology -- smart phones that is, take pictures and accomplish the same goal.
IF the city wanted to cooperate, they could respond to the public records request at the time of its filing, and provide digitized copies via email. BUT that would require meeting the first step of this sentence: "Wanting to cooperate".
While everyone on this site foams at the mouth about finance reports, the people that will make the decision for Jxn don't give a shit. And frankly, the people of Mississippi wouldn't care if we were talking about MAGA politicians.
