Red/Blue – Is Hosemann planning a run for guv?
Until a few weeks ago, I had been of the strong opinion that Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann would run for re-election next year, and not for governor.
Now I’m not so sure.
I hope he does run for re-election. If he chooses to run for governor, then of the seven statewide offices currently held by Republicans, five would very likely be open seats up for grabs — governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor and treasurer. Chances are quite good that we would win all of those seats even if their current occupants do not run for re-election, and the influx of new Republican candidates into the mix would be a good thing. But we would also be sending home some really fine public servants, for which the people of Mississippi would be the poorer.
