Current Pro Tem State Rep. Jason White says he plans to run for the top House leadership position but won’t do so against current Speaker Philip Gunn. Speaker Pro Tem of the House of Representatives Jason White says he is setting his sights on the Speaker position in the Mississippi House of Representatives. “You won’t see a Philip Gunn and Jason White race for Speaker of the House,” said White. The Mississippi House Leadership Fund PAC was formed last fall by White and has been raising money for future elections. “That’s all I’ve known is Speaker Gunn as the Speaker of the House, and what I’ve known him to be is extremely conservative, extremely fair, and a great Speaker,” said White.
