See candidates in runoff for MS House District 70, District 77 races

Neither of the state legislative special elections resulted in an Election Day winner . Instead, residents of Hinds County and Rankin and Simpson counties will hit the polls again on Dec. 1 for runoff elections. Both special elections were called in June after the deaths of Rep. Bo Brown, D-Jackson, and Rep. Price Wallace, R-Mendenhall. Gov. Tate Reeves aimed to fill the vacancies before the start of the 2027 legislative session in January. Seven candidates entered the two races, and the top two of each contest will advance to the runoff next month. Here are the names voters will see on their ballots. Who advanced to the runoff in District 70 in Hinds County? Marcus A. Cheatham and James Lott III will advance to a Dec. 1 runoff for Mississippi House District 70 after no candidate received a majority in the special election, according to unofficial results.
