This shows how disgusted many people are with Lawyers, and trial lawyers at that. While he IS a democrat, at least being a truck driver he knows how to work for a living.
Mississippi Ping.
Apparently his name was the first on the ballot.
Good for this guy. I wish him the best of luck simply because he is not an establishment pick, not a professional politician, not a grifter by nature. He does not have that arrogant smug look.
On the downside, if he’s over his head, he will be easily manipulated by all the people that are professional establishment grifters.
Another article on this guy...
I like his quote...
“It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to do what needs to be done in the state of Mississippi,” said Gray.
Won convincingly, too. 51% in a three-way race, 21% margin over the trial lawyer.
Valerie Adream Smartt Short,That's quite a name.
Is he related to Alvin Green?
It will be curious if the Dems try to remove him from the ballot, as they have tried to do in TN and SC when their non-preferred candidate won the nomination. (Hey, when you have LIVs as your base, don’t act surprised when they don’t vote in an “informed” manner as the leftist party elites want).
Interesting... Who did the RINOs pick for governor?
The ultimate low information voter ping. 164,000 LIVs actually.
In DeSoto County all 4 challenged House Republicans were defeated, one was uncontested and for good reasons. In the two new districts one race has a runoff. All 7 districts will go Republican in November, I believe only one will have a democrat challenger. All seven will be real “Conservatives”. Speaker “Change the Flag” Gunn campaigned for the four incumbents who lost but I don’t see that the Flag issue made any difference.
