This weekend was spent campaigning in Tutwiler, Webb, Glendora, Vance and Sumner. It was a little on the warm side, and I’m thankful for all of my new friends!

Yesterday (Wednesday, July 15, 2026), the Mississippi Legislature met in an extraordinary session called by the Governor to consider Youth Court reform. I received a copy of the proposed Bill fifteen minutes before the Senate convened at 3:00 p.m.

I served as Panola's County's Youth Court Referee and the Town of Courtland's Municipal Judge (one of only two Municipal Youth Courts ever created in the State of Mississippi) for many years. In addition, I have served as a prosecutor, defense lawyer and Guardian Ad Litem in the Tallahatchie County Youth Court.

I was able to read the Bill while watching the Senate Judiciary Committee and texted several Senators in real time. Later in the night, the full Senate took up the Bill and I was able to again text and call many Senators suggesting amendments. Some passed and some failed. I watched and communicated with Senators late into the night.

The Bill now heads to the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee. I have already communicated my thoughts on how to make the Bill better to many House members, and we will see how it all turns out. This is a major reform of the Youth Court Act of 1979, and, like all Bills, there are some very good provisions and some not-so-good portions. I'll continue to watch and will give an update on the changes that are passed.

I am not an activist judge. I do not make the law. I follow it. Regardless of whether I like it or not, I will follow the law and apply it fairly and impartially.

While I was out of the District in court today, Everett (Chris and Sara Shankle’s grandson) was busy campaigning for us back in Batesville. Thank you, Everett!

Westfaul Wednesday: Why Westfaul? Work.

The work ethic of Judge Westfaul is unmatched- whether it be in court serving constituents as judge or at his law practice serving clients (both of which he’s done for decades) or while campaigning for Chancery Court Judge- no one works harder than Judge Jay Westfaul.

Most recent evidence of such: Independence Day, when our team sought to celebrate our nation’s 250th in all counties throughout our large district- and we did it! Our campaign team covered 244 miles and enjoyed spending 10 hours in Water Valley, Coffeeville, Gore Springs, Grenada, Winona, Duck Hill, Carrollton, North Carrollton, Holcomb, Cascilla, Rosebloom, Tillatoba, Oakland, Enid, Pope, Batesville, Sardis, Como, Senatobia and Coldwater.

I’m thankful for all of the people we met and who said they would vote for me. Learn more, or join our efforts, at www.JayWestfaul.com
