After being vacant nearly four months, Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District seat may be filled after today’s special election.
Four candidates are facing off in hopes of finishing out former GOP U.S. Rep. Roger Wicker’s unexpired term, which ends in January.
They include:
Democrat Travis Childers of Prentiss, Prentiss County’s chancery clerk.
Republican Greg Davis, mayor of Southaven.
Independent Wally Pang, a restaurateur from Batesville
Green Party candidate John Wages Jr., a teacher and farmer from Tupelo.
