ASJN South Jackson Mayoral Candidates Forum

The Association of South Jackson Neighborhoods (ASJN) hosted a forum to engage constituents on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. at the Peggy Calhoun Community Center located on 4331 Will-O-Wood Blvd, Jackson, MS in conjunction with AMR and Southern Echo Incorporated.

The event allowed candidates to share their platforms, visions, strategies and plans for the City of Jackson.  In addition to being asked a plethora of questions by the moderator and audience, they expressed their views on solving our city’s issues and working together with non- profits and council members. It is the organization’s purpose to collaborate with other nonprofit agencies, faith-based, and 501(c) 3 organizations to bring awareness to the issues that our various wards and communities are facing.

There were ten candidates from the democratic ticket present to express their views and solutions for our South Jackson section of the city and their vision for the entire City of Jackson. All the democratic candidates were invited to participate for the event. The forum started at 6:00 p.m. until 7:45 p.m. We would like to thank all those who came out and participated and listened to the candidates.
