Mississippi’s New Faces in Special Elections | Jackson News

Mississippi’s House of Representatives is getting new blood in special elections triggered by the tragic loss of two reps within days of each other—now voters in Districts 70 and 77 are choosing their next leaders. In District 70, Imelda Brown seeks to honor her late husband’s legacy with education experience, facing off against Army vet Marcus Cheatham (small business/public safety) and local alderman James Lott III. Over in District 77, four contenders include banker Chris Dunn (conservative-leaning independent), trucking school founder Dianne McNair-Gaddis, pro-life nonprofit founder Melissa Sullivan—who says the late Rep. Wallace inspired her—and Craig Williams. With diverse backgrounds from family tradition to frontline healthcare, these races could reshape state politics for years to come.
