Congratulations 🎉 Coroner Howard

Today, Hinds County welcomed Chief Jeremiah Howard of the Pocahontas Volunteer Fire Department as he took the oath to serve as Hinds County Coroner. He spent many years diligently serving as deputy coroner to my esteemed friend, Sharon Grisham Stewart, who has now retired. His dedication and experience make him more than qualified for this critical position. Selected by the Hinds County Board of Supervisors, Coroner Howard brings a wealth of knowledge and commitment to the profession. We wish him the best, and I support him in this new role.
