DAILY JOURNAL – Republican runoff candidates embrace Trump ideas
Two candidates in a Republican primary runoff for a congressional race in central Mississippi agree on many big issues, including their overall support for President Donald Trump. Michael Guest and Whit Hughes are both cautious in any criticism of the man in the White House.
“His use of social media would be something I would disagree with the president on. I do support his policies,” Guest, the district attorney for Madison and Rankin counties, said during an interview last week in Pearl.
During his own campaign event in Natchez, Hughes expressed concern that international trade disputes would affect Mississippi agriculture.
“If you’re not careful with tariffs, you can get our farmers and our growers and our producers and our small business owners sideways in the marketplace,” Hughes said.

As you bring your #FathersDay to a close, remember these kids didn’t get to see theirs today.

…That’s right, Hutton says you could soon see a new name on the Mississippi Coliseum, he’s hoping by next year.
“One of the first things we’re going to try to do is we’re going to try to offer naming rights for the Mississippi coliseum and the new trademart,” he said.
WLOX – Mississippi Highway Patrol pays $500K in wreck that killed 1, hurt 2
The May 2017 crash killed 22-year-old Kaelin Kersh, a Mississippi State University track athlete who had just graduated.
A lawsuit was filed by Kersh’s survivors and two women who were in a car with Kersh when it was struck by a patrol car on a dark highway near Starkville. The suit says the trooper, Kyle Lee, was speeding.
News outlets report the Highway Patrol paid $500,000 into a court account June 6, and it will be divided among those who filed suit. The state tort claims act says that is the maximum amount a government entity would have to pay in a lawsuit.
