Political analyst breaks down the big races on the Mississippi ballot
SUMMARY: Dr. Ray Michael from Jackson State University discussed the Mississippi Supreme Court race, focusing on the two leading candidates: incumbent Jim Kitchens and challenger Jenifer Branning. Branning, endorsed by the state Republican Party, has received significant financial support from insurance and banking industries, likely due to past tort reform impacts in Mississippi. Despite judges being nonpartisan, Branning’s campaign has emphasized her identity as a “constitutional conservative,” reflecting a shift in political advertising in the state. This approach aims to clarify her judicial philosophy without directly addressing policy issues, aligning with conservative judicial figures like Justice Scalia.
Dr. Ray Mikell, with Jackson State University, tells us what races we should be watching.
