1 Chokwe Antar Lumumba (born March 29, 1983) is an American attorney, activist, and politician who served as the 53rd mayor of Jackson, Mississippi, from 2017 to 2025. He was elected in 2017 at age 34, becoming the youngest person elected mayor in the city's history. Lumumba is the son of former Jackson mayor and civil rights attorney Chokwe Lumumba, who served as mayor from 2013 until his death in 2014.

Lumumba was first elected mayor after defeating incumbent Tony Yarber and state senator John Horhn in the 2017 Democratic primary, then winning the general election in a landslide. During his mayoralty, Jackson faced major challenges involving its aging water system, a 2022 drinking-water emergency, conflicts with state officials over local control, and disputes with the city council over municipal contracts. Lumumba won reelection in 2021, becoming the first Jackson mayor in 20 years to win consecutive terms.

4 I wish the FBI would investigate the mayors of California cities...then they could look into Newsom's affairs. I believe they'd find a lot worth investigating.
