MISSISSIPPI REPUBLICAN PARTY ENDORSES STATE SENATOR JENIFER BRANNING FOR MISSISSIPPI SUPREME COURT
JACKSON, Miss. – Yesterday, the Mississippi Republican Party State Executive Committee voted to endorse State Senator Jenifer Branning for the Central District position of the Mississippi Supreme Court.
“We Mississippians need proven conservative leaders serving on our highest court,” said Mississippi Republican Party Chairman Mike Hurst. “It’s vital that we have Justices who will uphold the Constitution and interpret our state’s laws as written, and not legislate from the bench. Senator Branning has been a conservative champion in the Legislature and is well-prepared to lead with integrity and defend our Constitution on day one. The Mississippi Republican Party is proud to endorse Jenifer Branning for Justice of the Mississippi Supreme Court.”
In 2002, U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Mississippi Henry T. Wingate declared Mississippi law prohibiting endorsements in non-partisan races unconstitutional, in violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Founded in 1956, the Mississippi Republican Party works to elect conservatives to local, state, and federal offices. The Mississippi Republican Party believes in preserving individual liberties, resisting the overreach of big government intervention, protecting the rights of citizens outlined in our country’s founding documents, and increasing prosperity for all Mississippians.
