Mississippi's Second District Race Heats Up

Mississippi’s second congressional district is in a fierce race as challengers Ron Eller and Bennie Foster go head-to-head with incumbent Bennie Thompson, who’s staying silent while both opponents blast the status quo on crime, economy, and term limits. Eller pushes for federal help—including National Guard support—to tackle rising violence in Jackson, while Foster offers a different path: federal grants for youth mentorship and workforce programs to give young people real opportunities. Both candidates want to reshape the district’s future, with Foster positioning himself as an independent mediator and Eller advocating term limits and economic revitalization through bold, new initiatives.
