House of Representatives candidate has home shot up in Jackson
SUMMARY: The Jackson Police Department is investigating a shooting at the home of Tamarra Grace Butler-Washington, a candidate for House District 69. Butler-Washington and her family were inside the house when at least 12 bullets were fired at the front of their home. Surveillance video showed four men firing the shots, but it is unclear if the shooting was politically motivated. No one was injured in the incident. Butler-Washington is running to replace Rep. Alyce Clark, who retired after 38 years. Primary elections in Mississippi are scheduled for August 8.

SUMMARY: Hattiesburg has unveiled a mural titled “Glass Ceiling” to honor Evelyn Gandy, Mississippi’s first woman elected to statewide office. Created through a partnership between the Hattiesburg Alliance for Public Art, the 19th Amendment Committee, and the 2024 Gandy Leadership Academy, local ninth graders participated in its completion. The academy, led by state Rep. Missy McGee, aims to empower high school girls through civic engagement and community awareness. The 14×17-foot mural symbolizes the barriers Gandy broke for women in politics and serves as inspiration for future leaders. Local artist Kym Garraway mentored the students throughout the project.
