Jackson County remains under a Hurricane Warning while other portions of the Mississippi Coast and areas inland along the Mississippi-Alabama are under a Tropical Storm Warning or Watch.

In addition to his sizable fundraising haul, Sean Tindell has also picked up more than 65 endorsements from elected officials and law enforcement leaders, giving him another leg up on any challengers who may be considering entering the race.
