On June 30, Rep. Flaggs will step down as a state representative to be sworn in to office as the new mayor of Vicksburg. Speaker of the House Philip Gunn will officiate his inauguration. The event will take place at 6 p.m. at the Vicksburg City Auditorium and is open to the public.

Flaggs. “I’ve grown a lot during my time here, and I’m thankful for everything I’ve learned and accomplished through the years. The decisions I’ve made and the relationships I’ve cultivated motivated me to run for Mayor of Vicksburg where I can be more hands-on with the city and the people.
