Municipal candidates – we’ve got questions

Every official or person seeking to be an elected official answers to the voters.

For the voters to make an informed choice they should know where their candidates stand on the important issues. With that in mind, we have questions for the 10 candidates running for Mayor or Alderman in the city of Vicksburg.

Candidates, please send your responses to: info@vicksburgnews.com

We will publish your bio and info in the order in which you respond. Here are the questions:

1.) Tell us who you are, your Vicksburg story and why you have chosen to run for office.

2.) On the unsolved murders and our crime issue, what is your plan to improve the situation?

3.) Taxes and Spending. What are your priorities and how will you increase tax revenue and allocate spending?

4.) COVID-19 has hit every segment of our lives. What will you do to improve the situation including how will you start bringing jobs back, help businesses start thriving again, and how would you do this in a safe manner?

5.) What are your plans to grow Vicksburg?

6.) What other areas of focus will be on your priority list starting with your top priority?

7.) What else do voters need to know about you and what you will do for the city?
