JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Last week, Jackson City Councilwoman Virgi Lindsay submitted qualifying papers to seek reelection as the councilwoman for Ward 7.
“This has been the most rewarding, interesting and yet difficult and challenging job over my many years of working to make Jackson a better place,” said Lindsay. “I consider it an amazing honor to serve the people of Ward 7 and am grateful for this opportunity.
