AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 minutes ago

Mississippi Politics: Attorney General Lynn Fitch kicked off an eight-stop, three-day tour announcing her 2027 run for governor, pitching a platform of affordability, public safety, and economic growth while leaning on her work with law enforcement, fraud recovery, and abortion/Title IX legal fights. Local Economy & Jobs: East Mississippi Business Development Corporation named Charlie Ballou its new director of economic development, bringing Meridian ties and experience as a staffer for U.S. Rep. Michael Guest. Sports & Community: Central’s Michael Arnold was promoted to head football coach, keeping the program’s winning culture largely intact. Public Health & Equity: New research on injectable HIV PrEP found faster early uptake for lenacapavir than older options, but also showed persistent racial and age inequities in who gets it. Environment & Food: NOAA reported a Gulf “dead zone” from low oxygen near the northern Gulf Coast, tied to nutrient runoff from the Mississippi/Atchafalaya rivers. Arts & Culture: The MAX announced its 2026-2027 Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Hall of Fame class, honoring Mississippi John Hurt, Mississippi Mass Choir, Charley Patton, Bobby Rush, and Conway Twitty. Business/Defense: Integer Technologies and USM won a $9.8M Navy contract modification to advance seabed warfare capabilities.
