JACKSON — Mississippi’s Republican agriculture and commerce commissioner is announcing a run for governor in 2027.
In announcing his candidacy, Andy Gipson said he will fight for conservative principles, and that he has “always been in the fight with President Donald J. Trump.”
He described himself as a “proven fiscal conservative” and vowed to fight for Mississippi farmers, ranchers, loggers and landowners “against radical left-wing regulations.”
Gipson is an attorney and Baptist pastor. He was a state representative when then-Gov. Phil Bryant appointed him to be the state’s agriculture commissioner in 2018.
