Lynn Fitch Announces Bid for Mississippi Governor
The tour includes stops in seven cities and a Wednesday morning announcement that could signal a run for governor.
- On Tuesday, August 4, 2026, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch announced her candidacy for governor, launching a statewide campaign tour beginning at the Mississippi Republican Headquarters in Jackson.
- Branding herself as "a Trump conservative with Mississippi values," Fitch is positioning her campaign around pocketbook issues, public safety, and conservative social policies, emphasizing law-enforcement partnerships and litigation challenging federal policies.
- Her national profile grew significantly after leading the legal team that overturned Roe v. Wade in the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, a record political science professor Glenn Antizzo said built "goodwill on the conservative side."
- Fitch joins a Republican primary field that includes Agriculture Commissioner Andy Gipson and former House Speaker Philip Gunn, both vying to succeed term-limited Governor Tate Reeves.
- Following the announcement, Fitch will travel to Hattiesburg, Gulfport, Meridian, Columbus, Tupelo, Cleveland, and Southaven this week, with the Republican primary election scheduled for August 3, 2027.
