Natchez Mayor Dan M. Gibson writes that all of Mississippi must find a solution to prevent violent crime.
Dan M. Gibson
Dan M. Gibson is the 44th mayor of Natchez, Mississippi. He was first elected in 2020 and was elected unopposed in 2024, the first time a mayor ran unopposed in Natchez in over 100 years. With historic economic growth now happening together with a more complete telling of the Natchez story, “this shining city, the oldest city on the highest bluff of the mightiest river” as he likes to say, is quickly becoming a model for what can happen when people put aside their differences and work together.
