Jackson Jambalaya

And with each Virgi Lindsay endorsement comes a 'Yes Man' whoopee cushion and a bucket of unused slime. Apply liberally.

Given his many successes and outstanding ratings at Mid-Town School, he will fit right in on the council.

The Aldridges take way better care of the exterior of their house and their yard than what the Parkinsons do. That can’t be debated.

Given a choice between a competent candidate and an incompetent candidate, I have an opinion which one will win.

I hope I'm wrong.

@11:16, five gets you ten Johnny Horhn increases property taxes in his first budget so that whoopee cushion will come in handy for Parkinson.

Hope Ron wins. Known him for many years and worked with him. Really good guy. Extremely dedicated to things he is involved with.

Dont know Kevin. Could be a good guy. But that Virgi support, that just tanks him for me.

I’m team Ron but live in Ward 1, where our choices are between a Democrat, a Doula, and a man who just discovered blight is an issue for Jackson!!!

the endorsement by Virgi does it for me.....casting my ballot for Aldridge. Kevin probably is a good fella with well meaning intentions, but Virgi has proved a do nothing wast of time and money.

I have at least 7 emails to her over the past 4 years concerning water line breaks from well over 4 years ago on our street that to this day are still piles of limestone aggregate. The repair is not complete until the pavement is replaced, and she has yet to respond

Ron is such a good guy. Go to church with him. He will do a good job.

Kingfish gave his analysis of this race on WYAB’s Crossing The Aisle. It’s a good listen. See the video on YouTube. Search for “Shaun and Lindsey”

Kevin is a fine leader. His time in the Ms Delta as a lead for Teach for America benefitted children, parents & the communities in which he served. As principal of Northtown Charter the students were primarily transferring in from JPS- a difficult situation. Bottom line, Kevin is a leader , listener & team builder.

Mr Aldridge is a good guy but a bit too far to the right in his politics & culture.

Ron has the best credentials IMO!

1:50, how so? What is too far to the right?

I've known Ron and his wife Beth for years - good people!

For Democrats “too far to the right” is anyone to the right of them politically. It’s why Wokesters dislike Moderates.

I voted for Withers in the primary mainly because I believed that it would be good to have a Representative in the city government who could talk the talk with legislators. Parkinson has some solid credits, but he lacks the the kind of cred that Ron Aldridge has. Aldridge has been around long enough to raise a hard question or two, but he's a decent guy who has stayed in Jackson while it morphed Blue. Blue city in a Red state makes for difficult conversations. If we have someone going to meet with the Red folks in the Capitol, I would prefer to have someone who's been there and will have the best chance of having people listen to what he says about where Jackson is going. (Same for John Horhn.)

Note: Aldridge spent many hours going house to house in the South Jackson part of Ward 7. Honestly, that area needs better representation than it's been getting. I'm not knocking Ms Lindsey, who does not in any way resemble the negative
comments she's gotten on this site. Keep in mind that she had to work on the Council during Lumumba's tenure. Given time, I hope she will write about it as it really was. "Shit show" is not too harsh a description. "Clown car" would be the most positive I can come up with.

Kinda funny ActBlue donated to Parkinson. How many fake donations were tied to them in the 2020 election? There may be something more to that.

Has Kevin ever had a “regular” teacher job i.e. has he done anything besides TFA and work at a charter school?

IMO it’s really weird to say you’ve worked at a Title 1 school instead of saying what school(s).

If you asked all the employees in JPS where they work, how many would say a TItle 1 school instead of the name of the actual school? I would guess very few. IMO that is really weird of
Kevin.

Parkinson is an empty suit.

"Matriculated more than 450 teachers into ..."
Res ipsa loquitur.

Ain't there a girl named Taylor in this particular race?

Ron Aldridge has what Ward 7 and Jackson needs. He has legislative experience and is respected by the legislature and Mississippi's state and federal elected officials. He is smart, honest and has been living in and working to improve Jackson all his adult life. He is a thoughtful and ethical conservative who can bring sober, intelligent leadership to the City.

@ 9:10 - Hey there, Ron!

I made darn sure I made it to the polls today to vote for Ron. I hope you do too. He’s my hero for running for this seat.
