Voters ready for the debate
SUMMARY: important to voters. Many voters feel overwhelmed by the bombardment of information from media ads and are struggling to distinguish between rhetoric and facts. They hope that the live debate between lawmakers will shed light on their stances on the issues that matter most to them. The economy, affordable housing, education, and healthcare are some of the key concerns mentioned by voters. They are looking for relief on rising prices, improvements in shelters, support for educators, and ensuring access to healthcare services. The outcome of this race could greatly impact the state, as the winner will be in charge when lawmakers return for the legislative session in January.
Mississippi voters say they are looking forward to the gubernatorial debate.
