Mississippi’s junior senator in Washington faces a challenge in one of the federal primary elections on the ballot today. Cindy Hyde-Smith has served in the Senate since 2018 and is running against a doctor, Sarah Adlakha, in the Republican primary. Three Democrats are seeking their party’s Senate nomination—District Attorney Scott Colom, Marine Corps veteran Albert Littell, and Priscilla Williams-Till, founder of the Emmett Till Justice for Families Foundation.
Two of Mississippi’s congressmen have challengers in today’s primaries. In the 2nd District, Bennie Thompson faces Evan Turnage and Pertis Williams for the Democratic nomination while Ron Eller and Kevin Wilson meet in the Republican primary. And in the 4th District, incumbent Mike Ezell faces Sawyer Walters for the GOP nomination with the winner to take on Paul Blackman, Ryan Glover or Jeffrey Hulum, those candidates competing in the Democratic primary.
The only other contest on today’s ballot is in the 1st Congressional District where Kelvin Buck and Cliff Johnson seek the Democratic nomination and the right to take on Congressman Trent Kelly who is unopposed for the Republican nomination.
In the 3rd District, Congressman Michael Guest has no opposition in the Republican primary and his Democratic challenger, Michael Chiaradio, is also running unopposed in the other primary.
The polls will be open from 7 am until 7 pm.
