VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — Mayor George Flaggs Jr. will launch his re-election campaign with a kickoff event on March 20 at Delia’s Park, 2502 Halls Ferry Road. The event, which coincides with his birthday, will run from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and is open to the public.

Below is Mayor Flaggs press release in it’s entirety:

Mayor George Flaggs, Jr. is excited to announce the official kickoff of his re-election campaign, taking place on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at Delia’s Park, located at 2502 Halls Ferry Road. The event will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and is open to the public.

For Mayor Flaggs, Delia’s Park is more than just a location—it’s where his dream to lead the city of Vicksburg first took root. As a young student in the 9th or 10th grade, he stood under the same tree where he now begins every campaign. It was there that Ms. Delia, the park’s namesake, told him she believed he could one day be Mayor. Her encouragement planted a seed of hope and ambition that has guided his life in public service.

“I always start my campaign under that tree in The Bottom because it reminds me of where it all began,” said Mayor Flaggs. “Ms. Delia’s belief in me made a difference, and I carry that with me every day as I serve the people of Vicksburg.”

Mayor Flaggs also intentionally kicks off his campaign on March 20th, his birthday. “I’ve made it a tradition to start each new campaign on my birthday because there’s no greater gift than the opportunity to continue serving this city,” he said. “Every year, it reminds me how far we’ve
come—and how much more we can accomplish together.”

The campaign kickoff will feature music, refreshments, and an opportunity for residents to hear directly from Mayor Flaggs about his vision for the future of Vicksburg. Families, friends, and supporters are invited to attend the kickoff. It is open to the public.
