Bringing Balance and Integrity to Mississippi’s Highest Court Sen. Jennifer Branning, a seasoned figure in Mississippi politics, has thrown her hat into the ring for the Mississippi Supreme Court. With the support of MADA Auto PAC and a track record of conservative values, Branning’s candidacy promises to uphold the integrity of the judiciary while advocating for a fair and balanced legal system.

Throughout her tenure in the Senate, Branning has championed initiatives aimed at streamlining government regulations and fostering a business-friendly environment. Her efforts to eliminate the franchise tax and reduce bureaucratic red tape have garnered praise from industry leaders and earned her accolades such as the “Business Champion” rating from BIPEC. Yet, Branning’s dedication extends beyond legislative achievements. Her commitment to the principles of faith, family and community underscores her candidacy across District 1. Sen. Jennifer Branning embodies the values of integrity, fairness and conservatism that define the spirit of the state.
