From ClarionLedger.com:
Considered the front-runner for Mississippi’s top state-wide office, Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant is expected today to make official his bid to become the next governor.
Today is the first day for candidates to qualify for state office, and that’s likely to set off a political chain reaction as the Legislature heads back to the Capitol for the 2011 session this week.
“I’ve made no secret of my interest in running for governor,” Bryant recently told The Clarion-Ledger. “I think it is a natural progression as the lieutenant governor and someone who has worked so closely with Gov. (Haley) Barbour.”
Still Bryant’s announcement will pave the way for others to line up their bids for the statewide ballot.
