I appreciate the way you have kept us informed over your past two terms. That’s a rarity. I thank you for your strong stance on watching what happens to the money for the people of Desoto County

Thanks for taking the time to do this, Dana. I agree with your choices on all of these that serve in my area of Mississippi.

Any suggestions for the Republican governor's race? I'm sure not voting for Reeves again!

Dana may not like this 😉 but I'm backing Brandon Presley 100% for Governor. He's one of the only Democrats I've ever heard promising to cut taxes and fight government corruption. He's more conservative than any rhino running for office.

You are correct, if you think Presley will do anything remotely conservative then you are not paying attention. He is 100% Biden democrat. I understand not liking Reeves but if Presley were governor now we would still be fighting COVID lockdowns. I don't like RINOs either but that doesn't mean vote for confirmed liberal. At least check out Witcher before you vote for a Biden guy.

I voted for Witcher absentee. If Witcher gets in the General then I'll definitely consider Witcher then.

This is the guy folks think is honest and trustworthy? He is a politician through and through and on top of that he is a Biden Democrat. This guy will not do anything he has promised other than maybe steal some money. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-gubernatorial-candidate-took-money-solar-utility-officials-regulates-blows-mind

And don't forget, the Democrat he has choose to replace him as Public Service Commissioner, Tanner Newman, has already taken illegal money from solar businesses. Here is a quote from the Magnolia Tribune, "Newman has also received support from Charlottesville, Virginia-based APEX Clean Energy Holdings, San Francisco-based Southern Spirit Transmission, McKinney, Texas-based EDP Renewables of North America, and from employees of American Clean Power in Allen, Texas." https://magnoliatribune.com/2023/08/07/election-2023-pre-primary-campaign-roundup/

I agree. Democrats AND Republicans elect the most corrupt thieves they can recruit. It would be great if they would stop.

Can we write these down to bring with us or is that a no-no? People, please don't vote for Democrats. They will say whatever they need to say to get elected. It is not against the law for politicians to lie. Remember that.

Yes, you can write down who you support as a reminder for when you vote.

I've been telling my church family the exact same thing, "...if I don’t know anything about either candidate I vote against the incumbent." However the "Buckley Rule" is always in the back of my mind. What is your take on supporting "the rightwardmost viable candidate" especially in our "RINO Red" state? Is there a difference in applicability whether it is a local, state or federal office?

I struggle with this question because I think some of the RINOs we elect do so much harm to our state and are destroying the Republican Party. I also believe the party leadership is not going to change and move to the right until they get scared and a Democrat gets elected to a statewide position. If a Democrat is elected Gov. or Lt. Gov. the Republican party leadership will run to the right so fast it will make your head spin. But, how much damage will a Democrat do to the state? I'm not advocating we elect a Democrat, but I believe the luke-warm Republicans are doing so much harm to our state that we may never recover. Thats not really an answer to your question, guess I'm saying the Republican party in Mississippi is in real trouble but I don't know how to save it.
