MIM – List of Senate primaries to follow

We have a number of key Senate primaries that we will be paying attention to tomorrow night.

First, here are some key GOP primaries which either have no Democratic opponents or only minor challengers in November.

SD 1: Sen. Doug Davis (R) is facing a primary challenge from Chris Massey. (No Democratic challenger).

SD 20: In the race to replace Sen. Lee Yancey (R), four Republicans are in the race for this Rankin/ Madison based district: Tony Bahou, Steve Gaines, Josh Harkins, and Knox Ross. (No Democratic challenger).

SD 25: Three Republicans are hoping to replace Sen. Walter Michel (R) in this Northeast Jackson/ Southern Madison based district: Charles Barbour, Sean Corcoran, and Will Longwitz. Cecilia Sampayo qualified for the Democrats.
