Jackson County Sheriff Mike Ezell has defeated longtime U.S. House Rep. Steven Palazzo in the Republican primary runoff for Mississippi’s 4th Congressional District.
Mississippi Republicans are choosing nominees for Congress in three runoffs today. Two incumbents, U.S. House Rep. Michael Guest of the 3rd Congressional District and U.S. House Rep. Steven Palazzo of the 4th Congressional District, will lose their seats in Congress if they do not succeed in today’s elections.
Incumbent Republican U.S. House Rep. Steven Palazzo will debate an opponent for the first time since he won the seat 12 years ago as he struggles to hold onto his seat in Mississippi’s 4th Congressional District. The South Mississippi congressman will debate GOP primary runoff opponent Mike Ezell on Friday.
U.S. House Rep. Steven Palazzo, a Republican who has served Mississippi’s 4th Congressional District since 2011, will fight to save his seat in a runoff later this month after failing to secure at least 50% of the vote in Tuesday night’s Republican Party primary.
