TONY YARBER ENDORSEMENT FOR MAYOR OF JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI
Nancy Lockhart,
M.J.
TONY
YARBER ENDORSEMENT
FOR MAYOR OF JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI
FOR MAYOR OF JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI
I,
Nancy Lockhart, am honored to endorse Reverend Tony Yarber as mayor
of Jackson, Mississippi. My connections to Jackson, Mississippi and
the state as a whole evolved in late 2005, when Mrs. Evelyn Rasco
requested my assistance to free her wrongfully incarcerated
daughters. For ten grueling years, Mrs. Rasco fought a downhill
battle without an attorney and very limited resources. I formed a
global movement to free The Scott Sisters alongside Mrs. Rasco which
resulted in supporters from around the United States and abroad. The
fruits of our labor resulted in freedom for them on January 7, 2011.
I
would like to go on record as endorsing Tony Yarber for the office of
mayor. Tony has worked effectively as a City Councilman, during which
time he has brought excellent credentials, skills and abilities to
his seat. Tony exemplifies honesty, fairness, and thoughtfulness.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the people of Jackson, the state of
Mississippi, and the entire nation, need his qualities to create a
better balance.
