Kasman Massey Files to Run for Mayor of Vicksburg

VICKSBURG, Miss. – Kasman Massey has filed her paperwork to run for Mayor of Vicksburg.

Massey filed for the Mayor’s position today at the City Clerk’s Office after meeting supporters outside City Hall. Massey had invited supporters to show up at City Hall to meet and thank them.

“I’m Kasman Massey and I’m running as an independent candidate for the office of Mayor here in Vicksburg, Mississippi. I’m a wife, a mother and a business owner. For the last 20 years my husband and I have worked to invest in Vicksburg to get rid of the blight in our community. For far too long I’ve set here and watched our population dwindle, our crime rates rise, our infrastructure be ignored and our children overlooked. Enough is enough. I’m standing here as a people’s candidate to bring our voices to City Hall. So vote Kasman Massey, June 3rd, 2025,” said Massey.

Massey’s run for Mayor has been prolific on social media. Her campaign has highlighted the above along with creative ideas to address other issues, including food insecurity. In a post title “Free Food for All” the candidate suggests using funds allocated for the landscaping department to plant fruit trees and community gardens.

“No one should go hungry in our community – we all see the importance of beautification of our town – we spend money on beautification – I will take it a step further and make it meaningful and not wasteful. If the city plants anything – it will have a purpose in benefiting our citizens. Food is free – fruit, vegetables and berry trees in our city landscape!” said Massey in the post.

Get out the vote effort

The candidate has also encouraged county resident to get involved and “Adopt” a city resident to ensure they vote on election day. “Voter participation is so low in Vicksburg and I want that to change – it would be wonderful for this election to be one for the books.”
