In this special non-endorsing episode of The Local Yokel's Podcast, host Neil Colley welcomes Jon Stevenson, Republican candidate for Mississippi State Senate District 1. A Memphis native and former University of Alabama football standout, Jon reflects on his journey from the gridiron to the boardroom and now into the world of public service. He shares personal stories from his early life, college football career under Coach Gene Stallings, and his entrepreneurial ventures that helped shape his leadership style and values.
The conversation dives into the key issues Jon believes are vital to the future of District 1, including securing infrastructure investments like improvements to the Commerce Street Exit on I-55, fully funding the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), eliminating the state income tax, reducing the size of government, protecting life, and removing DEI programs from higher education and government agencies. Whether you're familiar with Jon’s background or just learning about him for the first time, this episode offers a closer look at the candidate, his convictions, and the challenges he hopes to address in Jackson.
