Fitch Announces Run for Governor

 Attorney General Lynn Fitch issued the following statement. 



Mississippi is on the verge of moving from the nation’s best kept secret to the nation’s leader in conservative governance. We need the right leader to make this moment count. I have the experience, the record, and the proven leadership to take Mississippi to the top.

Today, with humility and God’s grace, I ask Mississippi for the honor of leading this great State as your next Governor.

I commit to you that as long as you trust me to serve, I will put your interests first. I will choose progress over motion. I will build bridges and forge partnerships. I will empower every Mississippian to be a part of our future.

I am a Trump conservative with Mississippi values. Together, we will make bold and sustaining change for Mississippi. That is how we make the most of this moment in time. That is how we make Mississippi the nation’s leader. That is how we give you and your family your best future.

Mississippi is leading and our best days are ahead of us.

Why does everything put out by every Republican have to include some Trump glazing?

Especially when she isn't MAGA let alone supportive of the president.

Agreed, it's not a badge of honor. As a conservative, I never voted for him, and he's proven my instincts to be correct.

Using the term "Trump Conservative" is inappropriate. There is not much at all that's conservative about Trump. He is a populist and a 1990s liberal. I say this as a Trump voter (who is disappointed as of late).

Yehaw! The token woman is running for governor. Hahaha! This governor race brings out all the cockroaches.

Know what? I’ve scanned television and airwaves for a few years trying to catch this woman saying something relevant to me or my state and it never happened. Yawn.

I don’t think being Trump supporter is no longer a plus, it’s now a negative.

Hopefully this will be the end of her political career. She's terrible.

Good luck when you have practically ZERO law enforcement support

An ineffective AG. I am for Shad or someone like him.

Yeah Fitch is by far the most ineffective attorney general Mississippi has had in a while. Cannot believe I say that a persons political party doesn’t do justice to how they can do the job. Jim Hood was so much better as an AG. She’s slow walked so many cases and the whole Shad issue and all. Honestly all she can stump for is a noun, a verb, and “I overturned roe v. Wade” at least the good is that we will have a new more effective law enforcement officer at the AGO.

"I am a Trump conservative with Mississippi values."

Oh, lawdy...

So she'll bankrupt the state by "decapitating" Louisiana, Alabama, and Rhode Island. "I say, there, boys...oh, boys...Eric...Don, Jr...Stevie the Nazi - it's an island, just like Greenland, right? Do you think his majesty will like it?" It'll get sporty when she tries to take over the Strait of Rigolets and starts selling Fitchcoins with Lamar Adams as CEO of "Lynnie's Liberty Shenanigans & Shee-it, LLC." .

OTOH, with Pirro on the skids maybe she'll get the call up to the major leagues. Just as qualified as most of his picks and at least she won't fold like an umbrella. Mainly because she'd have trouble figuring out how one works. "Wait, what?! You're supposed to have...whatchacallit, evydance...to prosecute the enemies of his graceful worshipness? Boy, this lawyerin' stuff shore is hard!"

I won't vote for anyone who is a Trump humper, like her.

No thank you. Leaning towards Andy right now.

Even though I don't agree with all of her Trump backing, she has done a lot for human trafficking. She may do a great job. Why so many negatives?

Anonymous said...

I don’t think Fitch will have enough support to be elected. Does she really want to be governor, or is she hoping a statewide campaign will help her land somewhere else?

(Where, I don’t know, just putting that thought out there.)

anonymous said...

As to the overuse of the word "conservative," it may be time to confront candidates. Few know what it means. I believe Shad White and Andy Gibson understand it. I am unsure about the other gubernatorial candidates and 95% of local candidates.
To give equal time to the Democrats, how many understand the classic meaning of the phrase, "liberal?" Most liberals are bowing to socialism so quickly that the First Amendment means nothing to them.

Well the Testosterone rate in the race just went up 5x. RINO cucks really don’t like her. She’s gonna win. You’re all gonna get so tired of winning. Might have to move to Georgia or Carolinas to get your dose of uniparty Democrat party cucking.

To all those who are considering contributing to Fitch's campaign, please take those funds to the backyard, put them in a nice pile, and burn them to ashes. Both outcomes will provide the same results.

You gotta slap Trump on there, like Democrats are slapping on they’re approved by the Democrat Socialists of America.

I'll just leave this right here. MS Code § 23-15-821 (2025).

For the those not familiar with bullsh..., um, statutory language: No, candidates can no longer just outright pocket unused campaign funds (raised since 2018? 2019?) but lookee-lookee what they can do with them. All sorts of ways even a dumbass can git 'er did.

As an independent it’s much too early but not too early to say she ain’t it!

Here's something to think about for the next Guv - how many times has Tate Reeves been invited to hang out with Trump or any of the inner Trumpisphere? Trump has thrown 100s of those he considers "servants" under multiple buses, and a fair number of those who appear on the surface to be "friends." He views just about everyone as a "useful idiot" (used with no connotation of any particular ideology). He has no set ideology, and he has never had actual friends, only business associates. The next Governor of Mississippi won't be the first of the former and won't be able to steal enough to get within 100 miles of the latter.

Trump Conservative, eh Lynn? Well this Madison Countian will not be voting for any Republican again until that nest in the White House is gone.

Wow, just a prejudice woman hater......

“Proven Leadership”?!? From where? The rear? Fitch has never stepped up and lead anything. All her press releases are she joined lawsuits or signed briefs or took a stand on an issue After she saw it was safe to do so by joining the crowd.
No, Lynn, you’re not fit to lead.

Anonymous said...

Whoever convinced Lynn Fitch that she could run for Governor and win is a master negotiator and salesman. She has no chance. She is just a spoiler candidate being used to dilute the vote so that some special interest can get their candidate through the primary.

Shad White needs to either run for State Auditor again if he can or Lt. Governor. I could support him for either office.

Anonymous said...

So, a few take-a-ways/questions:
1. "I sued China.... and won" is that even true and if so, what in the hell did "she" win or the State of MS win? I do not know, and I seriously want to know. I thought that it was thrown out in an embarrassing fashion.
2. Did she not just about bankrupt the College Savings Plan as treasurer? It was in the crapper, and it was under her time as Treasurer. Someone fact check me on that.
3. "I overturned Roe vs. Wade" while she slid into the office as that case was progressing, did she really have anything to do with it? The legislature passed the bill that was challenged and she did not do a thing but sit on the second row and watch. please fact check this as I may be wrong but did she really do anything to impact the case or offer any legal wisdom or direction? It is a serious claim that needs context and I am not sure she had all that much to do. I would give Jim Hood a little credit if this were the standard.

Andy and his recordings illustrate his lack of self-awareness. Lynn is just a puppet, for somebody. I don’t know who. Shad seems to be able to think for himself, but o can’t figure out who is behind him.

Fitch is in the running for most incompetent elected official ever in Mississippi, but Stacy Pickering should retain the crown.

I went to AG Fitch for help as a desperate 70+ yo homeowner. She does not help anyone. She ignored the complaint and basically said her office only handled things where a large number of people were impacted. So, according to her, a contractor using at least 5 different business names throughout the metro area is OK, scamming the elderly at every chance, posing as insurance adjusters to their clients and Fitch ignores. If they do 5 roofs a day it is a very large number of people affected every month! There is so much more but she ignores the elderly like they don't exist. It's a big NO from me.

She wouldn’t even pursued charges against the goon squad if it hadn’t been for the feds. But if Trump would have been in office at the time no charges would have ever been pursued and they would still be terrorizing people

Anonymous said...

They all need to steer clear of using Trump's name. This Republican Primary will be a joke. Andy thinks he is the anointed one and he and the white hat and his singing will be an embarrassment to the state. Shad is so immature and will be name calling and wreaking havoc the entire time.
1st and best choice Delbert. He can be elected in a general election and will fairly govern all.
2nd choice Gunn.
3rd Fitch.

Newsflash! Do not bother going to the AGs office to file a complaint. They do not give a fuck about you!

I think the auditor office employee was right saying they do all the work while Shad does campaign commenting all day.

Delbert is a great choice if you want to elect a Democrat.

@2:56 - either you’re Dembert or you’re delusional. Hoseman would be worse than all the others. He needs to retire and not run.

Lynn Finch using the trump name will land you on Saturday Night Live or one of the Late Night Shows as a laughing stock of Mississippi. Lynn just tell us what YOU are going to do for Mississippians and not kiss trump ass! He cares nothing about you or average Mississippians. It’s sad you stooped that low! trump will not grace us forever and then what? Do you really want the job?

Anonymous said...

There could be a good one yet to announce, but the current pool for next year is meh. Shad is too immature. Fitch isn't even effective in the job she has now, and it's a shame she made it two terms as AG. Gunn is a good guy with a good story (lost his mother, father, and sister in a car wreck the day he graduated from college when they were driving back from his graduation), but some of his Speaker antics bother me. Delbert is a Democrat and backwards as heck. And Andy is, in my opinion, an idiot who spouts off on things he knows nothing about, and would set the state back 50 years, if elected. Greg Harper is someone I'd vote for. Super bright guy. Good guy. Conservative. Measured. And thinks before he speaks. Don't know if he has the stomach for it, though. He has a pretty good gig now. Ran into him in DC about a year ago, and he's the lobbyist for the country of Taiwan. I'd vote for Duff, as well, if he came out.

Harper was a reliable vote for Nancy Pelosi. Hell NO.

"I'd vote for Duff, as well, if he came out."

Religion aside, and that's not nothing in Mississippi, but...Duff has the money to pay serious people to give him excellent counsel. He and his brother have had obvious business success. Whether he pays for that advice and whether he takes it are two unknowns, at least to me. If he really wants to be and gets serious about being governor, listens, and takes advice, and runs a proper campaign, he's the next governor. If he gets in but doesn't do those things, he is just a wild card. Based on the current declared field and the current situation, it is much too early to make serious predictions.

With all the economic growth Philip Gunn helped bring into the state as Speaker, and move MS from the bottom in education to the top, I'm going with Gunn for Governor!!

I've started a contest, of sorts. As of this morning, I've seen seven articles of announcement and seven different photos ranging from recent to 25 years ago. As soon as I can figure out a way to make money off this contest, I'm gonna involve the rest of you.

But, on to the serious question: What happens to all the girls she brought into her office seven years ago? Maybe they'll be PERS vested soon.

The alternative would be including photos of Uncle Bennie and Uncle Al. Take your pick.

9:55 pm, show your work. Greg Harper had a 98% party unity score with Republicans. Like nearly all members of Congress, Harper occasionally voted with the other party on less partisan or procedural matters, bipartisan bills that passed with broad support, or issues of local interest. That is normal and does not change the overall pattern: his record was that of a mainstream House Republican who voted with his party the large majority of the time, not with Democrats.

Anonymous said...

Are there any declared Democrat candidates? Are they gonna trot out "dirt floor poor" Brandon Presley again? What is Jim Hood up to these days? If they ran him against Fitch or Delbert I would vote Hood.

Anonymous said...

Party unity score? Mainstream Republicans? LMAO You're working hard to obscure the number of times Harper voted with Pelosi and the Democrats, voted to provide amnesty to illegal aliens and voted for outrageous debt-laden omnibus spending bills.

Harper's 54% lifetime Heritage score says it all. (Guest's lifetime Heritage score is 92%.)

Gregg Harper ain't no conservative and no amount of spin on your part can walk back his Democrat friendly voting record while in Congress.

Maybe Colom can run for Gov after he loses in November.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
