Mike Espy outraised Cindy Hyde-Smith 45-to-1 in the pre-election period (October 1-14).

@MikeEspyMS: $3,879,256.02 docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/…

@cindyhydesmith: $84,477.01 docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/…
Cindy's 2018 donors are still waiting for $50,000+ worth of refunds they demanded when Cindy said "I'd be on the front row" for a public hanging and "it's a great idea" to make voting "more difficult."

Keep the support flowing to Mike, everyone—Cindy couldn't even break six figures on her own, but Lord knows how much Trump raked in for her yesterday 😬

Asked whether the home of Confederate president Jefferson Davis is the best of Mississippi's history, Cindy responded last week that "it is displayed very well."
Cindy has held NO town halls for constituents and refuses to debate her opponent, but last week she attended an event titled:

"The New American Civil War with Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith"

I'm reminded of a funny Mae West story that Ann Richards used to tell about how Democratic fundraising is different from Republican fundraising.
Mike Espy introduced Ann Richards for her legendary keynote speech at the 1988 keynote speech, and Mike's DNC debut is worth a watch itself.

Mike's words in 1988 remain stirring today. I will be proud for him to represent me in the Senate.
I am excited to turn out on November 3 to vote for Mike, and I'm also excited to turn out for Mississippi's three ballot measures this year:

☑️ Legalize medical marijuana

☑️ Eliminating Jim Crow mini-electoral college (h/t @marceelias)

☑️ New, non-Confederate state flag
The folks at @ProjectLincoln made this snazzy ad supporting Mike and opposing Cindy. I *love* this!
The @PacForAChange and @BarbaraBoxer also made a snazzy ad!
Cindy voted against election security and single-handedly blocked Congress from passing legislation against foreign election interference. Thread below:
This aged well.

THREAD: @aidachavez reports below on @cindyhydesmith's 1990s lobbying work for the health policies she now opposes, so...did @MikeEspyMS have a healthcare platform in the 1990s, you ask?

Why, yes he did! Espy's plan was basically rural Obamacare. 1/4
Espy noted that health insurance companies gouged agricultural workers and businesses on premiums because farming is a high-risk occupation and farmers had little or no opportunity to pool their risks. 2/4
Espy remarks about how the Clinton administration's health plan would meet rural needs apply fittingly to the guaranteed issue and community rating provisions ultimately passed into law in the ACA, that we all now rely on (and that Cindy wants to gut). 3/4

"We have not had peaceful protests. We have had mobs that burned businesses. People did not deserve that." —@cindyhydesmith

"In Mississippi, we've had lots and lots of protests, but they've all been peaceful, and it makes me proud to be a Mississippian." —@tatereeves
This @BlmSip protest looks peaceful to me!
Jackson was peaceful according to @JxnFreePress.

THREAD: @CindyHydeSmith claims that she refused to debate @MikeEspyMS because she is seeing constituents instead, but is she?

No. Instead, Cindy appeared with a Florida PR consultant in an event titled "The New American Civil War." 1/
This reporting comes from @LamarWhiteJr @bayoubrief.

Video of the host's introduction to the event is available here: drive.google.com/file/d/1pHIHdF… 2/
bayoubrief.com/2020/10/19/aft…
After being introduced by the host, Naresh Vissa, Vissa asked Cindy about what she had done for Hindu Americans, and Cindy responded that she had hired Umesh Sanjanwala as her chief aide when she became MS agriculture commissioner.

That video is here: drive.google.com/file/d/1B8bw8P… 3/

THREAD: Cindy Hyde-Smith released a video today begging for money for her campaign against @MikeEspyMS for US senate.

Cindy's desperate plea follows the interview Cindy gave to WJTV last week where she embarrassed both herself and Mississippi (see below). 1/
Cindy is correct that Mike is outraising her (though to win, Mike needs enough funds for a GOTV operation to reach MS Democratic voters who became inactive voters since 2008 and to improve his margin of white voters by a hair). 2/
Indeed, @alfranken said yesterday on the @talkingfedspod with @harrylitman @BillKristol and @Slate's @Dahlialithwick that the GOP likely views Mississippi's race for US senate as being close enough to be decided by voter suppression, making Mike's ability to GOTV crucial. 3/

MS Gov. Tate Reeves does not even include his chief medical officer @TCBPubHealth in his decisions on public health matters like requiring masks.

This is a stunning betrayal of Mississippians that requires oversight by the #MSLeg. 1/
On follow-up, a PR staffer cut off Dr. Dobbs' press briefing. 2/
Watching the full presser gives the clear impression that Tate's decision to lift Mississippi's mask mandate was against Dobbs' medical advice. 3/
