Campaign Shirt Leads to Lawsuit | Jackson News

A former mayoral candidate in Jackson, Zach Servis, is suing the city after being forcibly removed from a council meeting for wearing a campaign shirt — an incident that sparked a First Amendment showdown. The lawsuit claims city officials violated his rights by banning political expression during public comment periods, even though polling had already ended and state rules didn’t apply. Servis seeks to overturn Jackson’s public conduct ordinance, win symbolic damages, and get legal fees covered — while the city remains silent as council members avoid comment.
