Malcolm likes Marshand for Mayor
In the worst kept secret of the week, Malcolm McMillin has now come out to endorse Marshand Crisler for Mayor of Jackson. We speculated about this the other day when McMillin stepped aside as the Chief of Police.
“Because I know him so well, there’s no question about him being my candidate of choice,”
I’m not sure that this really comes as a shock to anyone who has followed these events in the past week. Frankly, I would have been more surprised if McMillin had not endorsed Crisler for mayor. Crisler has long been a part of the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department in several capacities over the years under Sheriff McMillin.
So what does it all mean for Crisler? In a crowded field such as this one it always helps to have your name out there in the news, in a positive manner of course. Crisler was one of our contenders in our early write up and this endorsement should help him stay in that contention as we inch closer to the primary on May 5th.
For the record, State House Representative Credell Calhoun also backed Crisler at the press conference today.
