Shubuta, MS — Michael A. Chiaradio, Democratic candidate for Mississippi’s 3rd Congressional District, was featured this week in a Magnolia Tribune article highlighting his campaign to challenge incumbent Congressman Michael Guest.
The story, written by reporter Frank Corder, underscored Chiaradio’s early fundraising success, his growing grassroots support, and his commitment to building a competitive campaign in a district long dominated by Republicans.
“Mississippi is not a red state — it’s a low voter turnout state,” Chiaradio told local Democrats during a recent speech at the Oktibbeha County Democratic Party banquet, a moment highlighted in the article.
The Magnolia Tribune also noted Chiaradio’s partnership with Zee Cohen Sanchez, a nationally recognized organizer and former staffer for Senator Bernie Sanders. Sanchez has joined the campaign to help scale Chiaradio’s outreach efforts and develop a winning strategy in Mississippi.
Chiaradio has raised over $4,000 in grassroots contributions during the first six weeks of his campaign and continues to build momentum across the district.
“This campaign is about showing people that we can flip this seat if we organize, invest early, and work together,” Chiaradio said. “I’m grateful to Magnolia Tribune for recognizing the growing movement here in Mississippi’s 3rd District.”
