Governor’s pick for Hinds County DA sparks residency questions

Brad McCullouch, currently serving as a Hinds County assistant district attorney since 2023, is set to lead the District Attorney's Office until a special election on November 3, raising questions about his residency eligibility. Critics argue that McCullouch may not meet the legal residency requirements to hold the office, a significant concern given the office's crucial role in prosecuting criminal cases. This controversy could impact the integrity and legitimacy of the upcoming election, potentially influencing voter confidence and the legal landscape of the county.
