I didn’t get into this race because we thought it would be easy — I did it because Mississippi is always worth fighting for. I’ve reached out to Rep. Bennie Thompson to congratulate him on winning the primary, and to remind him to meet this moment with the urgency our communities deserve.

From Hazlehurst to Centreville, we’re meeting people where they are across the district! In every conversation it’s clear that Mississippians are ready to elect new leaders who will fight to actually get things done in Washington.

Good jobs, telehealth, and online classes all require fast, reliable internet. But across the Delta and in Black neighborhoods, families still struggle with slow speeds and service that cuts out when they need it most.

Why haven't we heard a word from Bennie Thompson about people dying in a private prison in our district? Because the same private prisons are bankrolling his campaign.

Bennie Thompson was the only Democrat to vote against 15 days of early voting, same day voter registration, and other voting rights protections when he voted against the For the People Act. It’s time for new leadership.

The same ol’ way is just not gonna work. Congressman Thompson has served as an elected official for the last 57 years straight. It’s time to pass the torch to the next generation of leadership.

Rev. Jesse Jackson lived his faith out loud, teaching us that prayer without action is empty and that justice is a sacred obligation. His passing marks the end of an era, but not the end of the work he called us to do.

My father Ellis Turnage ran for this congressional seat when it last opened up back in 1993. It’s uncanny that his reasons for running then sound a lot like my reasons in 2026.

In Jackson and across the country, it's time for a new generation of leadership — one that's accountable to the people, not corporations.

Hinds County’s decision not to help administer our primary election voting is concerning. My team is investigating to make sure all eligible voters are still able to make their voices heard at the ballot box on March 10.

While Donald Trump tramples on the constitution, the Democrats in DC keep playing by the same old playbook that got us into this mess. The No Kings Act — which I wrote for Senate Democrats — would rein in the president, and it's time for new leaders who will actually fight to get it passed. #NoKings

Too many young people leave Mississippi for school or work and don’t come back, because they don’t see our state as a realistic option for their futures. We have to change that.

This #MLKDay I went to the Mississippi state capitol to support the Robert G. Clark, Jr. Voting Rights Act of Mississippi. The civil rights protections that a generation of civil rights leaders fought for are under attack, and we have to do everything we can to defend them.

Bennie Thompson didn't even use his role as January 6 Committee Chair effectively to hold Trump accountable, much less do anything to back up the claim that he's the "sole person" fighting back.

You can’t say you have a “100% voting record” when you voted against the most important voting rights package in a generation. I’m running for Congress to make sure Mississippi has a real fighter in Washington.

If Bennie Thompson’s 33 years in office had helped strengthen our district, there’d be no need for change, but we’ve remained the poorest district in the poorest state for my entire life. I’m done waiting. I’m running for Congress to actually fight for Mississippi: evanturnage.com
