AF-Jackson: The Mississippi Ballot Initiative Process

May 27, 2021 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM

The Iron Horse Grill

320 West Pearl Street , Jackson,

In our first in person event in over a year, we tackle a hot topic being discussed from Tupelo to the Gulf Coast and all across Mississippi.

Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn has voiced his support for a special legislative session to restore the voter-initiated referendum process following a ruling by the state supreme court that overturned a medical marijuana initiative that passed with 74% of support from Mississippi voters.

Join AF as we review and discuss the court’s decision to strike down Initiative 65 and the entire state initiative process. What does this mean for the Voter ID and Eminent Domain initiatives? How will the legislature act?

Steven Utroska with Americans for Prosperity and Jackson attorney Spencer Ritchie will be our guests leading the discussion. RSVP below to let us know you’ll be there!
