Alan Nunnelee died shortly after winning the election for representative for the 1st district. There were 13 candidates running for that spot (12 Republicans, 1 Democrat). The Democrat and 1 Republican survived to runoff on June 2cd. The Republican field included 2 doctors , one of whom loudly proclaimed his desire to destroy the ACA, The one I didn't see any ads for called himself Doc Halliday, a female former senator who pandered to the ignorant crowd by saying if they don't pass a budget they don't get paid(While that would be nice it would take an act of Congress so not practical. A few lawyers including one who made sure to mention he was for smaller government and how he had Christian family values (the ad actually said that) .
The two running off are Walter Zinn (a lawyer who wants Mississippi to do great things for it's people ) and the guy the dead man's widow supports. If you know anyone in Mississippi who can vote for this, try to encourage them to vote. Maybe we can have one more Democrat in the house.
