Clear partisan divide in Kitchens, Griffis MSSC race

Partisan divide clear in nominally nonpartisan judicial race

A clear partisan split has developed in a race to fill a central district seat on the Mississippi Supreme Court.

Justice Jim Kitchens and his challenger, Court of Appeals Judge Kenny Griffis, are running without party labels, as required by law. However, prominent Democrats are backing Kitchens, while big-name Republicans are supporting Griffis.
