All 7 Democrats running for Congress slated to speak, including Kerner who is challenging Congressman Thompson, even as the group pays tribute to the 2nd District incumbent. The Mississippi Federation of Democratic Women (MFDW) is hosting its first Political Forum for Mississippi’s 2022 Democratic U.S. Congressional District Candidates. The 2022 midterms in Mississippi will have Democratic candidates in all four of the state’s Congressional District, a feat that was not achieved just two years ago. Those candidates include:1st Congressional District: Dianne Dodson Black, Hunter Avery2nd Congressional District: Gerald Kerner, Congressman Bennie G. Thompson3rd Congressional District: Shuwaski Young4th Congressional District: Dr. Johnny DuPree, David SellersOf note as part of the forum, MFDW plans to pay “Tribute” to 2nd District incumbent Congressman Thompson, a move that surely will not make his primary opponent happy. To join the MFDW forum via Zoom, listeners must register by visiting their website at www.MFDW.org.
