CQ Roll Call – ‘Young Gun’ Nunnelee Faces Next Test … Ross

‘Young Gun’ Nunnelee Faces Next Test

When former Fox News political commentator Angela McGlowan entered Mississippi’s 1st district GOP primary in February, there was some speculation that she might harness the anti-establishment sentiment and give highly touted state Sen. Alan Nunnelee (R) a run for his money.

Four months later, McGlowan seems to have flamed out while former Eupora Mayor Henry Ross, who filed for the race in early January, has suddenly found himself with late momentum.

With just days to go before Tuesday’s primary, Ross is working to force Nunnelee into a June 22 runoff.
