"The Switcher" is Jim Herring’s vivid, birds-eye account of the politicians, parties, and principles that competed for voters’ allegiances from the 1960s through 2008 in Mississippi.
Readers witness unfurling political events, power plays, and personalities as the state’s upstart Republicans battled to achieve a viable two-party system against the state Democratic machine that was set on preserving its good-old-boy, powerful vice grip on state politics.
The son of passionate conservative Democrats, Jim Herring ultimately became the only State Chairman of the Mississippi Republican Party to serve previously on the Mississippi Democratic Party Executive Committee. Jim was elected in 2001 as Mississippi Republican Party Chairman, a post he held through 2008. Jim also rose nationally to become the Republican National Committee’s Chairman of the State Chairmen, a role that placed him on the Republican National Committee Executive Committee as a leader at the 2008 Republican National Convention.
Tickets to the event are free, and reservations are not required! We hope to see you there!
