   night for Wednesday and Thursday nights only. These rooms are for DAGA
   members attending the DAGA Fall Policy Conference only.  The Fairmont was
   unable to offer DAGA discounted rates for the weekend, so we cannot

   According to a new (July 8th) state campaign finance reports Democratic
   Attorney General Jim Hood has a strong lead in cash on hand (CoH).  In the
   past four weeks General Hood raised nearly $29,000 bringing his total cash
   on hand to $484,000. This gives General Hood a strong leg up over Republican
   challenger Steve Simpson who during the same period raised $17,000.
   Simpson’s CoH is reported at $195,000.

   Simpson is the former Mississippi Public Safety Commissioner.  He was
   appointed by Gov. Haley Barbour.

   General Hood is the only Democrat in state-wide office in Mississippi and he
   is certain to face a well-funded challenge from Simpson, the MS GOP and
   outside third parties.

   To help General Hood defend his seat, visit his website at [7]Jim [8]Hood
   for Attorney General.
