If Wicker takes Lott seat, who takes his?
If Wicker is the choice, he must resign his House seat to assume the Senate post. State law requires a special election within about 120 days of the vacancy.
Most frequently mentioned as possible House candidates, if Wicker is tapped, are former Tupelo Mayor Glenn McCullough Jr., Prentiss County Chancery Clerk Travis Childers, state Rep. Jamie Franks of Mooreville and Southaven Mayor Greg Davis. McCullough is a Republican, Davis an Independent and Childers and Franks Democrats.
Lee County Rep. Steve Holland, a Democrat, also placed himself in the list of possible candidates Sunday.
