Hattiesburg General Election June 7th

If you have been living under a rock for the past few months, then you may have missed the fact that we are coming up on a general election in Hattiesburg. If you have missed everything, I can only envy you as it has been quite exhausting with the primary, the runoff, and all the political mudslinging that has went on. Since you have decided to grace us with your presence, I’ll let you know your choices on June 7th. As always, we don’t endorse any candidate, since the opinion of any one person or media outlet should not influence your decision-making process.

Johnny Dupree - Democrat (He’s the mayor now)

Betsy Rowell - Republican (She’s on the city council)

Shawn O’Hara - Independent (Was he under there with you?)

Kim Bradley (R)

LaJuana Richardson (D)

C. Jerome Brown (D)

Andrew Ellard (R)

Red Bailey (I)

If your interested in catching up on what the mayoral candidates stand for, I strongly suggest two things. One, visit their website. Two, watch the WDAM Candidate forum on Thursday night at 7 pm. If you happen to miss it, stop by the forums on Friday morning, I’m sure there will be a few comments about it. After all of this, you can vote in our Final Election Poll, and get in on some of the colorful discussion going on about the election and the controversy surrounding it.

I promise you, you won’t feel like your uninformed for long, as a matter of fact, you might even suffer from “opinion overload”. If you do feel as though you suffer from this condition, please visit our newly created “Things to do in Hattiesburg” page and get some sun while visiting some of the places listed there. Follow this by talking about what you’ve done in the Off-Topic forum, and only periodic visits to the Hattiesburg News forum.

Thanks for reading, and be sure to leave a comment to help us improve.
