Analysis: It’s not just farmers picking agriculture commissioner
JACKSON — Even city slickers who think chicken arrives on earth plucked, butchered and shrink-wrapped will have a say in choosing Mississippi’s next commissioner of agriculture and commerce.
It’s one of eight statewide offices on the ballot this fall, and the race is wide open because Democrat-turned-Republican Lester Spell chose not to seek a fifth term as commissioner.
Three candidates are competing in the Aug. 2 Republican primary, and the GOP nominee will face Democrat Joel Gill and the Reform Party’s Cathy L. Toole in the Nov.8 general election.
