2 election challenges heading to Miss. House committee
Dillon also ran against Myers in 2011. Both are from McComb, and they ran in District 98 in Pike and Walthall counties. Certified results show Myers received 2,003 votes to Dillon’s 1,859 in the Aug. 4 primary. Myers was unopposed in the Nov. 3 general election.
