Democrats in south Mississippi will have an opportunity later this month to get together to talk about their concerns ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
“We want to find out not only their concerns but what their hopes are,” said Rickey Cole, 4th Congressional District chairman. “This is a fundamental and optimistic process.”
Cole said he hopes the conversations are realistic about their concerns but also focus on the things that can benefit people if they work together.
“There is nothing wrong with America that can’t be cured by what is right with America,” Cole quoted from former President Bill Clinton’s 1993 inauguration speech.
It will be the first time since 2016 that Mississippi’s 4th Congressional District Democratic Executive Committee will be holding county caucuses and all of the 315 precincts in the district.
The 4th Congressional District encompasses 12 counties: Forrest, George, Greene, Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Jones, Lamar, Pearl River, Perry, Stone and Wayne.
The precinct caucuses will be from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Feb. 24.
