Mississippi politics have a not so new face in the 2027 Governor race

STATEWIDE (WCBI)-

It may have been the worst kept secret in Mississippi politics; this morning Mississippi State Auditor Shad White “officially” announced he is running for Governor in 2027.

White made the announcement in videos on his website and social media.

White pledged to continue the fight he started as Auditor against waste, fraud, and abuse of public funds.

He also targeted what he calls “sweetheart contracts” let by state government.

White is a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump and says he supports the President’s efforts on immigration and will put state power behind them.

In the video he also mentions proposals to freeze property taxes and limit the foreign ownership of property in the Magnolia State.

White will be making several public appearances across the state in the coming days, and is expected to be in Columbus Tuesday morning.
