Jackson Jambalaya

The sad part is that every municipality that elects a mayor tonight, will be getting a leader that won’t change a thing. Any of these towns connected to Jackson will continue to devolve as the crime element continues its spread into the suburbs.

Chokwe and Horhn in a runoff.

My little bro lives in Ocean Springs & they are trying to vote away the candidate that wants to turn downtown into another Bourbon or Broadway street...

Thank you!

@7:08 I will be back to revisit your comment lol

There should be betting on what time the votes are completely counted in Jackson. I bet the other democrat candidates in the mayoral race didn’t think to have some oversight on the vote counting.

@7: 24 he better work hard. It is looking more and more that way. It’s great now, but I can see how that can really change for the worse.

Shanks should've stayed away from "saveJXN" idiot. I thought he'd lose by 10 but damn son.

Will Chowke's cemetery ballots be counted again?

Hell, I was surprised when Rankin didn't elect the "saveJXN" idiot himself after he agreed with one of his call in's that they Don't like working with BLACKS and Clay himself is OK with a little corruption.

Horhn getting stronger in the count...now almost 50%.

8:15 Yes, that is a repulsive comment, but equally repulsive are Jacksonians who don't want to work with whites.

All of us JJ posters will miss Shock- Way.

Hey, Hey
Ho, Ho
Mayor Chokwe
Is going to prison

I remember when Horhn got his DUI. Seems like just yesterday. Glad Jackson has such a selection of upright citizens to select as their leaders.

To be honest my expectations of Horhn are 6 feet under.

Horhn may just miss getting over 50%.

Do the totals shown include absentee voting.

Horhn is 3:1 over crooked Chowke. AMF! Go back to Detroit where you belong, and take Rukia with you, losers.

well, my voter registration got purged some how, so maybe the others that happened too as well at my precinct, will help him win

The folks who voted in the Republican primary thought they would get a free concert if Kenny G wins.

Chokwe was just heard saying “So you’re telling me there’s a chance, right?”

Horn will win the runoff. Thankfully, Chokwe can choke on his smoke now and move to wherever New Afrika is. Screw you Chockwe. You piece of shit.

for the life of me, how lyin' Lumumba even got 500 votes is beyond me. there is a 7/8 year track record of his performance to go by

Take a hike Metro Drake.

Lots of votes from cemeteries.

First thing Horhn needs to do if he wins the General is release to the public ALL of Antard's dirty laundry from his mayoral reign-of-error.

Runoff?
So we get to beat Chowke twice? I like that!

@ "My little bro lives in Ocean Springs & they are trying to vote away the candidate that wants to turn downtown into another Bourbon or Broadway street..."

Well my little bro lives near Ocean Springs and I didn't know they had a downtown.

Also, whatever happened to Horhn's DUI? Lotta news about the arrest and then crickets ever since.

Yarber beat Chokwe in 2014, and now Horhn will do it twice in 2025.

Then the three time loser gets to either plead out his federal charges or lose at trial.

THAT'S A LOTTA LOSING!

After watching WJTV's interview with Chock tonight,
I get the impression all Lumumba family sphincter muscles are tighter than usual ... right ?

Can't wait for the next city council meeting to see how Stokes is going to address Antar.

I have a feeling chuch will find a way to win. How did he even make it to a run off?? I guess Jackson with his brilliant leadership

I have a feeling chuchwe will find a way to win.

I was pulling for David Archie

“There are none so blind as those who will not see”

Well now…15 of the 16 candidates in the two primaries did not approve/vote for the current mayor………that is the story and Choke should concede and move on.

Lumumba said he was not guilty of any wrong doing, but the Bible states that as one of the Ten Commandments. That Mayor is not the Will of God; but the desire of YOU! No one, not Judge Wingate created the mess you are in but you, yourself. You were indicted under the Biden Administration. I pray the voters elect Horhn.

Pretty pitiful, if John Horne is the hero for beating Antar.

Most of all Tim Henderson voters will vote Horne so that’s additional 3,400 votes Chokwe really won’t add any supporters than he has already. Barnes will lose in ward 1 Foote but most likely that Sara green will win. Area is represented by Michael guest and wicker in NE Jackson so I think k with Horne and new blood on city council it will certainly make a huge change

Well, Butch Lee needed to go, but Fred Shanks hung around Clay Edwards way too much and it hurt him. Brandon's Shiloh Park is run by a management company now and the kids' soccer teams have to PAY to use their own fields! The soccer tournaments are now held in Vicksburg. Plus, Butch thinks downtown Brandon will be some entertainment mecca, when there's very little infrastructure to support it. Next, he will make it where citizens have to pay to park.

Ocean Springs is the best place to live in Mississippi by a long shot and if you have not visited downtown on a weekend lately, you should. And no chance it’s going to look anything like Bourbon St ever.

Can't wait to see Shock-Way shuck and jive for votes during the run-off.

WOW! 16.8% of Jackson voters voted for Chokwe??? BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Is this the “educated” (moral superiority) voters Democrats talk about?

16.8% i.e. 4.1K + Jackson, MS voters might want to subscribe to the YouTube channels of DeVory Darkins, Brandon Lehman & I am Coach Colin. One would think the “educated” would realize 3 decades of Democrat mayors destroying Jackson, MS might mean it’s time to try another political party (you think???).

Did Jackson’s destruction begin in the 1990’s when then Mayor Kane Ditto hired a police chief from DC?

But I was assured by astute comments on this blog for months that Lumumba would win.

Wish Shanks would have had to give up his legislative seat to run for mayor. Then we would be rid of him completely. The legislative branch always insures that the laws remain in a way most beneficial to their personal interests (i.e. see campaign finance laws).

9:14 pm if Law Enforcement sat outside any establishment that sold alcohol we would have hundreds more DUI’s. Im not condoning drinking and driving! I’d rather have a drunk in office than someone that won’t work for the betterment of all citizens.
I don’t think Horn will make a noticeable difference either!!!

There's no way there should be a run off in Jackson's Mayoral race. The citizens are not to bright . Is that why they are closing schools in Jackson ? Com'on folks....

A rat has the ability to flatten its body to slide thru a crack in the wall. Chock pulls off a “ miraculous”moment and wins.

Agree about Ocean Springs. It would be my recommended location for anyone moving to this state. Very cool place.

Was that Rukia I saw slipping out of town about midnight last night?

I wish Lumumba had received less votes. It is dumbfounding to me. Other than his family and those he pays, who would vote for him?

Wish Henderson had received more votes. I really liked him. Seemed smart, capable, and I liked his military background.

All my fingers and toes crossed that Lumumba will lose the runoff. Just cant have a sign of relief until runoff is done and its official.

I wouldn't count out the commie Chokwe. His little political activist networks will be doing everything they can to get the votes he needs.

In my version of fantasy politics, Horhn stuns all by deciding he'd better serve the people by staying in the legislature and turns his endorsement over to Tim Henderson. Ahhh, it's good to still have dreams.

Now that would be fantastic.

Memo to John Horhn:

You are under no obligation to give any interviews to the Barksdalers.

That outfit has not reported zip, zilch, nada on this comprehensive lists of Lumumba failures.

So don't trust them as far as you can spit should they seem to interested in interviewing you now. The Barksdalers always have a hidden agenda and don't/can't move the needle for you in the runoff.

Screw them.

Lil Choke says God has him "still standing" and God gave him another chance to win the race. He's farting upwind and calling it incense; pissing upstream and calling it holy water. Horhn will beat him in the general 63% to 21%.

The fact that more than 1,000 people voted for Marcus Wallace (and more than 4,000 for Lumumba) has me in knots.

@9:22 and 10:07. I completely agree. The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me. I still won't ever forget the smear campaign that was pulled at the last minute to keep Jonathan Lee out of office. I often wonder how Jackson would look today if he had won instead of Lumumba Sr. and then Yarber.

When will Rukia's Bolshevik Bouncing Belly Brigades shout:
"Choke get the Graft,
We get the Shaft"?

You mean the runoff?

Cost per vote, by candidate
(The moral of the story: don't let Marcus Wallace manage your portfolio)

Candidate | Total spend | Total votes | Cost per vote
John Horhn $51,402.34 11,909 $4.32
Chokwe Lumumba $35,711.20 4,124 $8.66
Tim Henderson $33,036.13 3,371 $9.80
Delano Funches $107,316.83 2,034 $52.76
Marcus Wallace $190,000 1,004 $189.24
Socrates Garrett $25,722.02 648 $39.69
David Archie No report 533 No report
LaKeyshia Crye $7,193.59 342 $21.03
Albert Wilson No report 262 No report
James Hopkins No report 254 No report
Kourtney Paige No report 81 No report
James Butler No report 29 No report

4/2/25 10:31 AM, it’s hard to turn down “interviews” with billionaires. Lots of perks might come with those “interviews,” especially from a judge bribing billionaire.

In order for Democrats to keep control, crime and chaos will continue in the inner cities like Jackson, MS. Because crime and chaos keep Independent and Republican voters out.

2 + 2 = 4

Hohrn will be a disaster - no better than Lumumba.

The legislature is pathetic. Elected to do a job, and did not get it done this year within the allotted time frame. DOGE would have a field day with such an inefficient and ineffective bunch of bureaucrats that are never late for a free meal at Tico's but can't pass a budget.

Fish - Can we get the precinct by precinct vote totals?

Hosemann can't get the Senate to do anything on time and with expediency.

Nah, you don't need it.

Yes, both are equally repulsive but.....one learned from the other.

Except for the strong democrat presence along the Ocean Springs to Gulfport stretch.
