Judie Gray Livingston, the woman who didn't even know her eldest child was running for statewide office before August, said she always thought he'd make a good governor.
"It was always my desire that he would run for governor," Livingston told the Jackson Free Press. "I think that's every mother's (desire)."
Livingston joined her son and daughter, Angela Gray (who is also her big brother's campaign manager), at a prayer vigil for Democratic candidates this afternoon at Smith Park.
Gray, 56, unexpectedly won the Democratic primary in August to become the party's nominee.
Meanwhile, across town, Republicans held a cook-off and rally today at the Ag Museum to promote their slate of statewide candidates.
Judie Gray said she prayed for the passage of the school funding Initiative 42 as well as for salary increases for teachers and state employees as well as infrastructure upgrades.
"This is a positive thing he's done. There's nothing negative," she told me. "He's all about the people of Mississippi wanting to improve."
