Bryant Inauguration Today

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – Republican Phil Bryant is beginning his second term as Mississippi governor.

His inauguration ceremony begins at 11 a.m. Tuesday on the south steps of the Capitol. A parade will follow, in downtown Jackson.

Bryant isn’t expected to offer detailed policy proposals during his inaugural address. Instead, he’ll discuss his legislative agenda during his Jan. 26 State of the State speech.

Bryant easily defeated the Democratic nominee, long-haul truck driver Robert Gray, in the November election.

The 61-year-old Bryant previously served four years as lieutenant governor and 10 as state auditor.
