Jackson Candidates Share Visions As Voters Prepare to Elect New Mayor on June 3

Theresa Robinson has called her North Jackson neighborhood home for nearly 30 years. Before that, she lived in West Jackson while attending classes at Jackson State University.

She is one of the 114,006 registered voters in the capital city.

On May 13, weeks ahead of the June 3 general election, she joined a throng of other residents of Mississippi’s capital city inside New Jerusalem Church to hear plans from the remaining candidates for mayor on issues like solving the city’s infrastructure challenges, providing city services and restoring trust in local government.

Although she already knows who she will be voting for, Robinson said she wanted to hear all the candidates discuss their plans for reviving the city she said has transformed drastically since she was a college student.
