She easily won on the first ballot in a 233-202 vote.

Kayode Crown just became the Mississippi Free Press' senior reporter, and on his first day covering the Legislature, he managed to get comments from House Speaker Gunn, Lt. Gov. Hosemann AND Gov. Tate Reeves.

Here is new mayor making his way down to river banks to help homeless population stay safe, incredibly dangerous for them ⚠️

NEW: With 54% of Mississippi's hospitals in danger of closing, medical leaders warned state lawmakers of a "looming disaster" unless they expand Medicaid.
