Posted below are the 2021-2024 campaign finance reports of Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba. JJ published pictures of the reports last month as yours truly could look at the reports but had to file a public records request for a printed copy.
The request was submitted and the documents provided. The reports posted below are in a pdf format and easier to read than the long string of pictures posted earlier.
The schedule for submitting campaign finance reports is:
March 25, 2025
April 15, 2025
May 27, 2025
January 30, 2026.
JJ will report what reports are filed for each deadline just as it did four years ago when it was the only media outlet to do so. Enjoy.

This man has no shame. If he did he would drop out of the race
Somebody on Lakeview Drive in Clinton gave him $30,000. Can’t wait to figure out who that is.
Contributions 113,900
Disbursements 42,920
Ending cash. 28,000
Yep, definitely a guy who should run a 9 figure municipal budget.
To the Mayoral candidates that most certainly read this website: POLICE AND POTHOLES! That is your winning political platform. And if you win, actually follow through…
He will be re-elected. Then he can resign as a deal to avoid jail time. If he doesn’t win, he has no bargaining chips
He will be re-elected.
NOPE. He's done.
2021 was election year and donations were only 10 grand! Can’t be right! KF. What am I missing?
No defense of hizzhonor but if every politician who had no shame resigned you could shoot a pistol inside the Capitol and not hit anyone.
You're missing that his reports were just thrown together to satisfy a low reporting bar that doesn't penalize for a lack of accuracy and/or veracity nor timeliness. I'm NO Lumumba apologist but you can thank our Legislature for campaign finance laws that are weak as diluted piss.
Seems odd there aren't any campaign contributions from Richard's Disposal or the law firm that got tens of millions of dollars from the Siemens settlement (Lightfoot, etc.). Maybe they are under other names ...
I see a certain contractor has donated $39,000. I wonder if he gets to do work in the city of jackson
Under another name?
Uhhhh
What's another word for 'campaign contributions' that really aren't?
Uhhhh
Bribes?
Do they make you pay for the blank pages?
Agreed these are hastily thrown together just to get turned in. No way this is 100% accurate and true.
Some of the donor addresses aren't valid.
In the years I did politics, I only knew of one candidate who filled out his own campaign expense form. I knew 3 that actually took time to review theirs. I quit a campaign that gave preachers money to give their people to get on transportation to the polls (the preachers were had unaffiliated or independent congregations),
It'd be eye opening if it was required to volunteer for at least one campaign and stay all the way until the end. It will give the phrase " the end justifies the means" a far scarier meaning.
The small amount shown is what wasn’t paid under the rable
I am confident that these reports are accurate because there is "integrity" on his campaign signs. Right?
The reports may/may not reflect all contributions/disbursements.

Can we pay for a billboard on I-55 next to oyo? Pic of lumumba on it that says “Don’t be stupid Jackson! Elect a new mayor!
Is there any official review of campaign finance reports? Or can a candidate submit an incomplete/incorrect report without any consequences?
Get your money down: Lumumba to win going away. And in the victory the Jackson electorate will savor the satisfaction of stickin' it to The Man one more time.
Wonder if there are any studies on personality types of people who regularly comment on blog sites? You got your trolls, your cynics, your well-intentioned but woefully uninformed, and your semi-normals. It's early hours so the trolls and cynics aren't out in toto. But I do see an early bird who takes me back to a subject we JJ'ers know well: TODD MARDIS.
I'll follow Lumumba's RICO case because I want to see that no good grifting thief behind bars. And since Kingfish reports more than than every other news outlet combined and multiplied by 100, I'll be doing that right here.
I'll just need to steel my nerves against the style of drivel ala Todd Mardis such as "he won't serve a day;" "his wife will drop the charges;" "he's too rich and powerful to be convicted in Rankin County; and "if you happen to think otherwise he will find you and beat your ass."
He signed his reports as "Director/Treasurer". Is it legit for a candidate to be the treasurer of his own campaign?
You folks who have confidence in Jxn voters. Unless he cuts a deal before now and then, he'll be reelected in another landslide.
Whether Chopstick would win with a Jackghanistan (or Hinds County) jury is not relevant because that's not what/who will be deciding his, Owens', and Banks' fates. These are federal charges and it'll be a federal trial and jurors, not county/state charges and trial/jurors. For any that want to read up, start with Rule 24, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and have 28 U.S. Code §§ 1861-1878 handy as well.
Given the charges, the apparent evidence (assuming a fair chunk of what has been made public makes it before the jury), the occupations of the Defendants, and the jury pool, these dudes have a problem. I'd guess Hizzoner and DA Dipshit are going to Federal prison whether they plead or go to trial and even if one rolls on the other(s). The only real questions being how long and where.
As to Banks, I just don't know enough about his discreet situation in the overall jackpot. My WAG would be that if he can nail down the other two, if he is otherwise mostly clean, and if he gets with the program, he might avoid quite a bit of what he is facing - but again, that's a WAG with a lot of "ifs."
11:09. Doesn't this division draw jurors from something like 18 counties? My memory could be based on old data.
@ March 8, 2025 at 2:16 PM - Anyone can put up a billboard. I was thinking something more like this for the message, though:
"Lumumba has failed the citizens of Jackson on crime, schools, water, trash, roads, maintenance, and honesty in government. It's past time to elect a new and capable leader. Vote not not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
