Collins to run for open congressional seat
JACKSON – State Sen. Nancy Collins, R-Tupelo, announced today she is running for the vacant 1st District congressional seat.
“After much prayerful consideration, I have decided to declare my candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives, so that I might bring a strong conservative agenda to Washington, D.C. on behalf of the 1st District,” Collins said in a prepared statement.
Collins becomes the second candidate to announce for the position vacated by the death of third-term Congressman Alan Nunnelee on Feb. 6. Rep. Chris Brown, R-Aberdeen, said Tuesday he would run.
