Remembering Evelyn Gandy: A Trailblazer in Leadership
Gandy was “a woman of firsts” who used her gifts, talents, and abilities to pave the way for women entering politics and beyond.
Evelyn Gandy was the Lt. Governor when I moved to Mississippi in 1977. I remember her being interviewed on television and reading articles about her in the Clarion Ledger. Still, other than that, I knew very little about her background and contributions to our state, that is, until I started doing my research.
I began by looking for a book either written by Ms. Gandy or about Ms. Gandy. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything. Instead, I learned that the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) has the Edythe Evelyn Gandy Collection. The collection contains historical manuscript materials, photographs, Gandy family materials, personal items, and other memorabilia.
Brandon Ball, Processing Assistant, Historical Manuscripts and Archives, works at the McCain Library and Archives at USM. It took him two years to organize the collection—from 2014 to 2016. He created 49 scrapbooks, placed in order about 1,700 photographs, plus all her speeches and personal items. The collection is open to the public.
Join me as I look a little deeper into the life of a woman fondly remembered as a woman of “firsts.” Perhaps what you read today will spur you on to learn more about this remarkable woman and plan a visit to USM.
The Significance of 1920
Have you ever searched the internet for a summary of the newspaper headlines for the year you were born? Reviewing the significant events of the year 1920, I discovered the first day of Prohibition came into effect on January 17, 1920. That same month, Walt Disney started his film industry career when KC Slide Co. hired him. The month of August ran two headlines. The first one involved Carl Mays, a Yankee pitcher, who hit Cleveland Indians shortstop Raymond Chapman with a high fastball, striking him in the head. Chapman died the next day. To this day it’s the only major league fatality.
Many individuals consider the most significant event of the year to be August 18th, the day women were awarded the right to vote. The suffrage movement began in 1848. It was signed into law on August 26, 1920 (It would be March 22, 1984, before Mississippi ratified the Nineteenth Amendment). Days later, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Kearney C. Gandy and Abbie Whigham Gandy welcomed their first child, Edythe Evelyn Gandy, on September 4, 1920. Over the years, her father worked as a farmer with the Hattiesburg Production Credit Association and for the State of Mississippi.
Mr. Gandy was also an avid supporter of the women’s suffrage movement. As Evelyn grew, he encouraged her to pursue her dreams, reminding her nothing was out of her reach. How interesting that a woman, born the same year women were granted the right to vote, would one day be the first woman to hold a statewide office in Mississippi.
Preparation comes first
In 1938, Evelyn Gandy graduated from Hattiesburg High School. She attended State Teachers College/Mississippi Southern College (now USM). She earned her pre-legal course work in 1940. The next step was to enroll at the University of Mississippi School of Law. She earned her Juris Doctorate in 1943, as the only woman in her class. As a student, she served as the first female president of the law school student body.
After graduation, she went to work for U.S. Senator Theodore Bilbo for three years as a Legislative Assistant. She then returned to Hattiesburg to run for State Representative in the Mississippi Legislature and won. Her parents and sister, Martha Frances Gandy, were actively involved in her campaign, contributing to her success. She served from 1948 until 1952.
Breaking the Glass Ceiling
While Ms. Gandy was in the Mississippi Legislature, an appointment came to serve as Assistant Attorney General. In 1959, she became the first woman to be elected State Treasurer.
Her political aspirations continued. Next, she ran for the office of Lieutenant Governor. She lost the election to Carroll Gartin. She accepted an appointment to the position of Commissioner of Public Welfare. After her term, she was elected State Treasurer in 1967 and served from 1968 to 1972. She then returned to the campaign trail, this time running for the position of Commissioner of Insurance in 1971. She won the election and became the first woman elected to that position, serving from 1972 to 1976.
The glass ceiling had been broken. It was time to continue the momentum and move forward, this time for the position of Lieutenant Governor. She was elected—as a woman, another first. Her term ended in 1980.
Evelyn Gandy ran twice for Governor of the state of Mississippi. First, it was the race against William Winter – defeated. Then again, in 1983, she ran against William Allain – defeated. In 1984, she entered private law practice with Ingram, Matthews, and Stroud. And she then joined Ingram and Associates law firm in 1994. Repeatedly Edythe Evelyn Gandy was recognized for her work and achievements.
The following is a sample of the many honors and awards she received:
- Honorary Degree of Doctor of Law in 1977 from Blue Mountain College
- Mississippi College School of Law Award for Excellence in Law in 1984
- The Mississippi Women’s Political Caucus Susan B. Anthony Award for Outstanding Service to the State of Mississippi 1984
- Lifetime Achievement Award, The Mississippi Bar 1994
- Lifetime Achievement Award, Mississippi Association of Women Lawyers 1998
Evelyn Gandy died on December 23, 2007, at 87 years of age. William Winter delivered her eulogy. He said, “I had the advantage in the Mississippi politics of almost 30 years ago of being a man who ran against a woman. I would hope that advantage would not exist today, and if it does not, it is because Evelyn Gandy has blazed the trail.”
Following in Gandy’s footsteps are three other women. Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck served from 2000-2008. Cindy Hyde-Smith served as the Mississippi Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce (2011). Smith was a member of the Mississippi State Senate and currently serves as a U.S. Senator, and she was the first woman to represent Mississippi in the Senate when Governor Phil Bryant appointed her to fill the vacancy when Thad Cochran resigned. Lynn Fitch is the first woman Attorney General, moving into her new position on January 9, 2020, after serving eight years as State Treasurer (2012 to 2020).
Who will be the next woman to run for the office of Governor for the state of Mississippi? Only time will tell if the glass ceiling will ever be broken entirely.
Lasting Tributes
Senate Bills 2371 and 2372, along with House Bill 89, were approved for Highway 42, a bypass from Hattiesburg to Petal named the Evelyn Gandy Parkway. The dedication service was held on June 11, 2002. Evelyn, living in Hattiesburg at that time, was grateful for the honor bestowed upon her. However, she passed before the parkway project was completed.
The University of Southern Mississippi offers a junior or senior student a scholarship in Gandy’s name. The student must graduate from a Mississippi high school, major in political science, and plan to pursue a law degree.
The Mississippi Bar Women in the Profession Section hosted the 30th Annual Evelyn Gandy Lecture Series in January 2023. This year some of the guest speakers were Justice Dawn Beam, Mississippi Supreme Court; Judge Virginia Carlton, Court of Appeals Presiding Judge (District 4, Place 1); and Attorney General Lynn Fitch.
“Evelyn Gandy shattered glass ceilings and blazed a mighty trail for the women in the State of Mississippi to excel in law and politics,” said Fitch. “She was a strong advocate for all of Mississippi’s people, regardless of color or ethnicity.”
The University of Southern Mississippi has established the “Evelyn Gandy Center for Women and Leadership” named in honor of the distinguished USM alumna, public servant, and fearless advocate for Mississippi who was often referred to as “the most successful woman in the history of Mississippi politics.” On September 4, 2020, on what would have been Gandy’s 100th birthday, the University of Southern Mississippi presented a video honoring her.
Evelyn Gandy is remembered for making a difference in many areas. She was “a woman of firsts” who used her gifts, talents, and abilities to pave the way for women entering politics and beyond.

Staring mortality in the face at Christmas
My friend Jarrod is dying after an eight year battle with cancer. He’s lived a life worth celebrating, one that has drawn people to Christ.
I was going about my business this week when I received a text that stopped me in my tracks. A college friend was being moved to hospice care.
Jarrod Egley was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in early 2017. In the fall of 2018, tests revealed the cancer had spread to his lungs and Jarrod’s cancer was classified as Stage IV.
For almost eight years from the date of the original diagnosis, he’s fought. Through surgeries, radiation, endless rounds and cycles of chemotherapy, and experimental immunotherapies, he’s fought.
Last year, I flew out to California and spent some time with Jarrod and his wife, Emily. We sat outside one night. He acknowledged to me that it was not a question of ‘if’, but ‘when’ the cancer would claim his life. I told him I was sorry, because what else is there to say?
We talked about our faith, about the trials of Job, about Jacob wrestling with God, about Paul’s affliction. But mostly we reflected on our time together in school, on the good things, and the mundane things, that happened since.
Jarrod and I met at Tulane University. One Sunday morning in the Spring of my freshman year, I rose from my dorm room bed, dressed, and began walking down Saint Charles Avenue in New Orleans with no particular agenda. I walked until I came across First Baptist Church and the thought flickered in the vacuous recesses of my brain to enter.
Some would say it was a lark. The Calvinist in me says providence. The walk that morning changed the trajectory of my time at Tulane and my life on the whole. Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and the Baptist Collegiate Ministry became central to my life and put me in regular league with Jarrod. I met him first at the BCM and we ultimately ended up attending church together.
Jarrod was a faithful servant on and off campus. He helped organize a group of us that would weekly make our way down to the Esplanade seawall on the backside of the French Quarter to feed the homeless. On Friday nights, he could be found at chapel with a small cadre of students foregoing Bourbon Street for early 2000s worship music.
Jarrod was a loyal friend in those years. Never rude or biting. Not prone to an insult for an easy laugh. Persistently encouraging. An engineering student, his mind worked linearly and was oriented to problem solving. There were never a lot of wasted words — always a lot of deliberative questions when he disagreed or did not understand a point. He exhibited intelligence, empathy, and the kind of moral conviction that sets someone apart.
He also had a wry and dry sense of humor and a penchant for beating people at Madden football. He was fair-to-midland on the ultimate frisbee pitch. Along the way, there were crawfish boils, Mardi Gras outtings, poorly attended Tulane football games, and more than a decent amount of wing eating.
After college, I lost touch with Jarrod. He moved back to his home state of California. He got married to his college sweetheart, who could not have anticipated her husband’s journey, but has been a steady and constant helpmate throughout. Jarrod became a very successful engineer and a bourbon connoisseur. One of his bucket list trips took him to Kentucky, where he got to meet and became friends with bourbon “Hall of Famer” Freddie Johnson of Buffalo Trace acclaim.
Sitting in his backyard nearly 20 years after graduating from Tulane, I saw many of the same qualities I had grown to admire when we were students together. I saw a husband who doted on and supported Emily’s passions. But I also saw someone whose body had been beaten to hell and back, who was tired, and who, like Jacob, had been wrestling with God. We quickly fell back into friendship, which perhaps is the mark of good friendship.
We all have aspirations in our youth — for the kind of spouse or parent we might be, for what we might accomplish, for what we might experience. Along the way, dreams are satisfied, modified, or they die on the vine. The clock inevitably works against all of us. That night in Oceanside, California, Jarrod, a numbers guy, saw that time was not on his side. He believed, as we all would, that he still had more to give, more impact to be made, and more things to see and experience.
After that trip, Jarrod and I stayed in touch, most frequently triggered by news of his cancer. It has been mostly the bad variety in recent months. Now spread throughout his body, down to his bones, he has lived in constant pain for months. Not even a steady diet of morphine and an implanted pain pump solve for it. Jarrod’s been hospitalized twelve times just in 2023.
But his matter of fact sense of humor and way of seeing the world remains in tact. So too does his faith that despite these trials, he has always been safe in the hands of Christ.
There are people in the world who believe that life is random, disordered, and without reason. I am not among them. I think my friend is staring mortality in the face at Christmas for a reason.
For thousands of years before Christ came, there was darkness and despair. Sin and shame gripped the hearts of men. Until one holy night, God, in His infinite love, mercy and wisdom, sent His son to save. Jesus is the light of the world and the hope of man. He has won victory over death and Jarrod’s will not be the exception. Jesus came for Jarrod, and for you.
For thousands of years since Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection, His disciples have been used as divine instruments to point the way to God. Jarrod is among them. If life expectancies were the measure, Jarrod would be at the midway point for most people. He’s made a lifetime of impact for the Kingdom and on other people.
So, to my friend Jarrod, you were placed here with a purpose. You have run your race. You are loved. And when this chapter closes, you will hear “well done, my good and faithful servant.” There is no greater evidence of a life well lived.
While Jarrod and Emily have been fortunate to have health insurance, their portion of the medical bills so far in 2023 have eclipsed $30,000, and Emily is facing additional uncovered expenses during Jarrod’s hospice care, including a night nurse that costs over $400 a night. If you would like to help defray the cost, a contribution can be made at their Go Fund Me page.

The airport was thoroughly security swept, cleared and reopened in just over two hours. Gulfport-Biloxi is now operating regularly.
The threat was also sent to Stennis International Airport. Their staff and personnel were also evacuated until the facilities could be swept and cleared.

3. Cassidy arrested in Iowa for beheading Satanic Temple statue
Former Mississippi congressional and legislative candidate Michael Cassidy was arrested this week in Iowa for beheading a statue at the state’s Capitol erected by The Satanic Temple.
Cassidy reportedly decapitated the statue and turned himself to police on Thursday. He was charged with fourth degree criminal mischief. He then started an online legal defense fund where he’s raised upwards of $20,000 as of Thursday night, according to his X account.
4. “Serial fraudster” ordered to cease offering investments into companies
According to the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office, on October 26, 2023, Secretary Michael Watson and the Securities Division issued an order against Stephone N. Patton. The SOS says Patton is a serial fraudster with multiple criminal convictions in Mississippi and Florida.
Through business filings with the SEC and Mississippi, Patton has held himself to be the CEO of various companies, including Star Oil and Gas Company, Inc., North Gulf Energy Corporation, Inc., Patton Oilfield Services, Inc., and Patton Farms, LLC.
The SOS says using these business filings and company websites, Patton claimed to have raised hundreds of billions of dollars through investment opportunities. Through investigative efforts and collaboration with the SEC, the SOS discovered none of Patton’s companies are operational, have any assets, or generate any revenues. Account records show Patton spent investors’ funds almost as soon as he received them on personal expenses. The total amount of known investments made to Patton’s fraudulent companies is over $80,000. Further, none of Patton’s investment offerings have been registered or notice filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office.
The SOS order requires Patton to cease and desist from offering investments with his companies, requiring Patton to permanently deactivate his companies’ websites to prevent any further dissemination of his false or misleading information. Patton is also ordered to pay an administrative penalty of $25,000 to the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office for these violations, in addition to restitution owed to all his Mississippi investors.
National News & Foreign Policy
1. Congressional retirements mounting as 2024 election cycle nears
Retirement and departure announcements are piling up ahead of the start to the 2024 election cycle. The New York Times has developed a Retirement Tracker that currently shows 22 Democrats and 11 Republicans who are in Congress now will not be seeking re-election next year.
“Dozens of members of Congress have announced plans to leave their seats in the House of Representatives, setting a rapid pace for congressional departures, with more expected as the 2024 election draws closer,” the NY Times reports. “Given Republicans’ razor-thin House majority, the wave of exits has the potential to lead to a significant shake-up next year.”
You can find the tracker here.
2. Texas, Daily Wire, The Federalist sue U.S. State Department over media censorship
The U.S. State Department’s Global Engagement Center has come under fire as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton along with The Daily Wire and The Federalist have filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the department funded technology that could “render disfavored press outlets unprofitable.” They claim that the department has helped social media – Facebook, YouTube and X (formerly Twitter) – to censor free speech while funding technologies used to censor right-leaning news outlets such as theirs.
New Civil Liberties Alliance is representing The Daily Wire and The Federalist. Paxton and the outlets claim the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a British think tank, received a $100,000 grant from the State Department in 2021, and NewsGuard, which rates the “misinformation” levels of news outlets, received $25,000 from the State Department in 2020, according to the lawsuit.
According to the State Department’s website, the Global Engagement Center’s mission is to direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate U.S. Federal Government efforts to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations.
As reported by Reuters, the lawsuit cited a GDI-produced list from December 2022 that ranked The Daily Wire and The Federalist as among the 10 “riskiest sites” for news while the least-risky included The New York Times, Associated Press and NPR. Reuters notes that the lawsuit alleges such “blacklists” are reducing revenues to The Daily Wire and The Federalist along with their visibility on social media and ranking results from browser searches.

New water rates expected in Jackson come 2024; those who don’t pay face shut off
Interim Third-Party Director Ted Henifin said this week that only about 59% of the City of Jackson’s water customers are paying their bills.
JXN Water has announced new rates and fees coming in 2024. Those who are not paying will be at risk of shut offs.
The company, which was established by federal appointed interim Third-Party Director Ted Henifin, has been overseeing the city’s water system for the better part of a year.
Officials estimated that the average cost for water in the city was $76 per month for residents. Henifin clarified that JXN water will not attempt to recoup any charges prior to November 29, 2022, and will work with those who have failed to pay since that time.
He said only about 59 percent of the city’s water customers are paying their bills.
“You can’t forgive bills, so we have to be creative in how we part that,” said Henifin in reference to Mississippi’s laws that prevent giving away water.
According to a release by JXN Water announcing the rate changes, residents in single family households with small meters that use up to 748 gallons daily would see a bill increase of roughly .30 cents per day. Research indicates that the average U.S. family uses 300 gallons per day.
SNAP customers will have a new rate tier that could lower their bill by up to .69 cents per day, on average.
“Those who need to save the most benefit from saving money by drinking tap water. This new rate structure makes water affordability possible for 12,500 JXN Water customers who receive SNAP benefits,” said Henifin in the release.
Read more about the anticipated rate changes here.
New fees will also be implemented, including a new service fee of $50, service deposit of $100, returned check fee of $25, service restoration fee of $100, and meter tampering charge of $500.
JXN Water has continued to encourage residents to use the water, with Henifin going on the record in a federal status hearing saying that the water “was safe to drink.”
More conversation regarding the billing process is expected to come at next week’s Jackson City Council meeting.
