JACKSON, Miss. -- The Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus (MSLBC) has officially announced its endorsement of Representative Jeramey Anderson for United States Congress. Representative Anderson is running as the Democratic nominee for Mississippi’s 4th Congressional District. Anderson is a member of the Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus. Prior to running for U.S. Congress, he served on the executive board as one of the Southern District Representatives. He remains committed to fair and equal representation, which aligns with the goals of the (MSLBC) and plans to bring that focus of inclusiveness to Washington D.C. when elected.

The Caucus chairwoman, Hon. Sonya Williams Barnes, is very excited about this endorsement. She believes that “Jeramey is fully committed to a better Mississippi” and she knows that “his passion to find community based solutions” will benefit all in South Mississippi.

The MSLBC has been united in their goal of achieving full inclusion of African American residents in all aspects of Mississippi life for over 40 years. The elected members of the caucus must be stalwart advocates of opportunity and guardians of justice for residents in the great state of Mississippi. Out of the six elected officials to represent Mississippi on Capitol Hill, only one official is black, even though the state has the highest percentage of African American residents in the United States.
