Mississippi had its Municipal Primary elections last Tuesday. It got us to thinking about our two main political parties; so we invited them to come on the show and tell us what they want us to know and give our listeners a chance to ask what they want to know. Today, we’ve got Representative Cheikh Taylor, Chairman of the Mississippi Democratic Party. We're also joined by Mikel Bolden, Executive Director of the Mississippi Democratic Party. (We're scheduled to speak with the chair of the Mississippi Republican Party on May 20th, 2025.)

Governor Tate Reeves announced that he has set a special election to fill the vacancy in Senate District 18 (Leake, Neshoba, and Winston Counties). The vacancy is due to the resignation of the Honorable Jenifer B. Branning upon her election to the Mississippi Supreme Court effective January, 6 2025. The special election will be held on April 15, 2025.

Some of our primary races had so many candidates that there might need to be a runoff.

April 12th – Saturday - Runoff Absentee Voting begins: Municipal Clerks’ Offices must be open from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.

April 22nd is the PRIMARY RUNOFF ELECTION DAY: Polling places must be open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.
