Mississippians elected some new Judges and re-hired some familiar ones. Of the contested elections here’s what we have so far.
Winners in Bold.
Chancery Court, District 11, Place 1 (Madison, Yazoo and Holmes)
This is a new Judge as Judge Goree is retiring.
Chancery Court, District 8, Place 2 (The Coast)
Chancery Court, District 8, Place 3 (The Coast)
Chancery Court, District 13, Place 1 (Covington, Jefferson Davis, Lawrence, Simpson & Smith)
This race was interesting as the incumbent, Shoemake, ran and won against Buffington in the last election – who was the Judge prior to Shoemake. Buffington sought to be re-hired, Shoemake held the seat.
Chancery Court, District 13, Place 2 (Covington, Jefferson Davis, Lawrence, Simpson & Smith)
Heading for a run-off between Martin and Burnham. This seat was vacated by Joe Dale Walker for Judicial misconduct.
Chancery Court, District 16, Place 1 (The Coast)
Too close to call and are still counting affidavit ballots.
Chancery Court, District 16, Place 3 (The Coast)
Fondren will be a new Chancery Judge and this race was interesting as the outgoing Judge, Chuck Bordis, withdrew from the race. There was gossip of soap opera issues between Bordis and Fondren. Interestingly, its exactly the type of matters Chancery Judge’s hear. Nothing better than real-life experience for preparation for the job.
Chancery Court, District 18, Place 1 (Benton, Calhoun, Lafayette, Marshall & Tippah)
Chancery Court, District 18, Place 2 (Benton, Calhoun, Lafayette, Marshall & Tippah)
