When voters go to the polls March 12 to vote for Mississippi congressional primary candidates in districts 2 and 3, their options will be limited.
District 2 incumbent Bennie Thompson, D-Bolton, faces no challengers within his party, and District 3 incumbent Michael Guest, R-Rankin County, is now running unopposed.
In District 2, Thompson will eventually face off against one of three candidates vying for the Republican nomination in next week’s primary. Those challengers are Taylor Turcotte, Andrew Scott Smith and Ron Eller.
As of Feb. 21, Thompson has raised more than $513,000 in contributions and spent about $545,000, leaving his campaign account with $1,698,954 in cash-on-hand, which accounts for the total amount of money in Thompson’s Federal Elections Commission account.
