Republican Gov. Tate Reeves and Democrat Brandon Presley are campaigning across the state one last weekend before the Nov. 7 governor‘s race.
by Taylor Vance, Mississippi Today November 4, 2023 PEARL — When Stephanie Harvey goes to her local polling precinct to vote on Nov. 7, the top issue that will determine which candidates she’ll vote for is Medicaid expansion to provide health coverage to the working poor. Harvey lives in Brandon, a suburb outside the capital city of Jackson, and works at a job that does not offer health insurance benefits.
“Mississippi would probably be about $5 billion richer if we had signed up for that,” Griffith said. Joe Powell, a Pearl resident, said he’s become frustrated at the state Legislature and most of Mississippi’s statewide officials for not getting to the bottom of the state’s sprawling welfare scandal in which millions of dollars meant for the state’s poorest people instead went toward projects that prosecutors say were unlawful.
