Today is Christmas Day for politicos in Mississippi as annual campaign finance reports are due to be submitted to the Secretary of State. It gives prognosticators a chance to see who has raised what as the gubernatorial field comes into focus. First up is State Auditor Shad White.
Mr. White reported a campaign war chest of $3.8 million. He raised $1 million in 2025. The report is posted below. J
J will post the reports of others such as Attorney General Lynn Fitch, Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann, Ag Commish Andy Gipson, and Secretary of State Michael Watson when they become available. Thomas Duff's will be reported if he indeed files one.

However you slice it, Shad White has support up and down the state. Will be very interesting to see the other reports.
Title this: How to become rich running for office,
Many will not be submitted on time, many will be incomplete, and many will be inaccurate. But will the legislature do anything to make the process more transparent??? Hell no!
It’s time for a clean sweep in Mississippi. We can’t have more of the same old cronyism, nepotism, and racialism! We need to elect someone who will work for the little man!
Duff PAC has already filed. Duff only gave his PAC $175K and it has $1k COH. Very underwhelming for a guy whose only argument has been that he'll spend millions upon millions of dollars to get elected.
Shad will arrest the little man!
The big well connected fish...not so much?
@10:05 am Shad may have support up and down the state. It doesn’t mean he is who needs to be in charge of our state. I, for one, do not believe his hands are clean. He’s a hothead, a bully, a know-it-all, and cannot take criticism. He gaslights people who challenge him.
Draft kings spent about $500,000 in Mississippi buying politicians with money and superbowl trips. Now we have all these bs school choice and NIL bills that nobody asked for. Again if everybody wants it restore ballot initiative and let's vote on it.
11:36 - Why fabricate? To knowingly fabricate is to lie. Duff never said nor implied that.
Kingfish left out Philip Gunn.
Politician = Unreliable and Untrustworthy
Name anyone with clean hands running for political office. It’s one of the requirements to run, dirty hands. No one that runs for office does it for the people, they want to be elected for the money and power.
It’s funny that you think voters have any kind of say so. We all voted for the state flag not to change, what happened to that?
@12:27
that comnent cant be fabricated. KF is a pedantic gatekeeper who doesn’t approve comnents if you dont have your facts straight.
…or maybe its because Duff doesnt buy ads but Brad and Tate do buy ads.
@11;36 , I
@11:36, it must be fun to know how to read but not to know how to understand!
DuffPAC was an entity set up by Tommy Duff to support other candidates in their campaigns, just as most other PACs do. When Mr. Duff decides to start his own campaign account (which he may have already done, but we will not know from this month's filings, due to the fact he is not a currently elected official and his Campaign account was not established prior to January 1) you can see then how much he will be willing to spend on his own behalf - or at least what the starting point will be.
In other words, your reference to DuffPAC and your interpretation of it has no relevance to the 2027 campaign for Governor. Take a pill and come back later if you have anything of value to offer.
Hard to deny that Shad is a smart MoFo that could have done pretty much anything but chose to return to Mississippi. We need more of those folks. Just hope he's smart enough to avoid full MAGA.
@1:40, pedantic gatekeeping aside, I've not seen an ad, here, bought by Tate. What's he running for?
he bought ads during the last election.
Political lackeys never fail to start a pissing contest in the comments over their preferred politician as if they are going to change someone's mind.
