Voters in Leake, Neshoba and Winston counties have elected Lane Taylor as their new state senator. Taylor got about 58 per cent of the vote to defeat four other candidates in Tuesday’s special election to represent District 18 in Jackson. The results are complete but not yet official. Taylor is a Neshoba County native and owns an auction company. He’ll replace former senator Jenifer Branning who’s now serving on the State Supreme Court.
