SUMMARY: The Salvation Army launched its Christmas red Kettle campaign, marking the start of donations at various stores. New this year, each kettle features a QR code for quick mobile donations. Major Fred Thornhill emphasized that contributions remain local, aiding those in the community. He recalled the joy of Christmas mornings as a child and highlighted the importance of providing gifts for children and seniors who may not receive much during the holidays. The campaign supports the angel tree program, which offers gifts to those in need. Opportunities to adopt angel tree recipients are still available in Hattiesburg.

SUMMARY: LeRoy Brooks, a long-serving County Supervisor, has announced his candidacy for the mayoral position in Columbus, marking a significant shift in his political career. Having served since the Reagan administration, he expressed his desire for teamwork in city government, motivated by a recent spiritual epiphany. His decision comes in the wake of incumbent Keith Gaskin’s announcement not to seek reelection, endorsing Pastor Darren Lynch instead. Brooks joins fellow candidate Stephan Jones, a current council member also vying for the mayor’s office. Candidates can officially file in early 2024, with primaries on April 1 and the general election on June 3.

Longtime Lowndes County Supervisor Leroy Brooks announced he’s entering the election to become Columbus’ mayor.
