Former Democratic nominee for two offices in Mississippi flips parties
SUMMARY: Shuwaski Young, a former Democratic nominee for U.S. Congress and Mississippi Secretary of State, has announced his departure from the Democratic Party, identifying as a “Christian Conservative.” In an op-ed, he expressed discontent with the party’s shift towards policies he views as contrary to traditional values, particularly regarding gender roles, family structure, and economic support for the middle and lower classes. Young criticized the Democratic leadership’s emphasis on wealth redistribution and linked past Democratic policies to the erosion of Black family structures. He envisions a future prioritizing family strength and economic self-sufficiency, without excessive government interference.

Chaney may sue CMS over creation of state insurance exchange if Gov. Reeves doesnโt sign off
SUMMARY: Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney is reconsidering plans for a Mississippi state health insurance exchange, previously contingent on Governor Tate Reeves’ approval. Chaney estimates that a state-exchange could save $25-30 million annually and provide lower premiums and additional benefits for residents. A bill granting Chaney the authority to create the exchange passed the legislature, but Reeves has not signed it. Chaney believes Reeves may support the exchange after the upcoming elections. If needed, Chaney is prepared to pursue legal action against the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) if it insists on a governor’s letter to proceed.
