On the heels of a mis-announcement by the Barbour campaign that Mayor Melvin Mack of Laurel would endorse the Governor today, the Mayor instead announced that he will officially endorse John Eaves for Governor at a press event tomorrow in the rotunda of City Hall.
“I am honored to have the support of Mayor Mack as we partner together to bring a new day to Mississippi,” said Eaves. “I look forward to serving the needs of the people of Laurel and across Mississippi by working to provide grocery tax relief, healthcare for all children, and fully funding education every year, not just election years.”
