night for Wednesday and Thursday nights only. These rooms are for DAGA
members attending the DAGA Fall Policy Conference only. The Fairmont was
unable to offer DAGA discounted rates for the weekend, so we cannot
guarantee availability or rates past check out on Friday, September 16. The
room block closes on August 16, 2011, however we cannot guarantee rates or

According to a new (July 8th) state campaign finance reports Democratic
Attorney General Jim Hood has a strong lead in cash on hand (CoH). In the
past four weeks General Hood raised nearly $29,000 bringing his total cash
on hand to $484,000. This gives General Hood a strong leg up over Republican
challenger Steve Simpson who during the same period raised $17,000.
Simpson’s CoH is reported at $195,000.

Simpson is the former Mississippi Public Safety Commissioner. He was
appointed by Gov. Haley Barbour.

General Hood is the only Democrat in state-wide office in Mississippi and he
is certain to face a well-funded challenge from Simpson, the MS GOP and
outside third parties.

To help General Hood defend his seat, visit his website at [7]Jim [8]Hood
for Attorney General.
