## Elections[edit]

### 2017[edit]

MS Senate District 10

See also: Mississippi state legislative special elections, 2017

A special election for the position of Mississippi State Senate District 10 was called for November 7, 2017. A runoff election was held on November 28, 2017.

The seat became vacant in July 2017 after Bill Stone (D) resigned to become manager of the Holly Springs Utility Department.[1]

Michael Cathey, Sharon Gipson, Lennell Lucas, Ray Minor, and Neil Whaley ran in the special election.[2] Since none of the candidates received more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two vote-getters in the special election, Gipson and Whaley, faced off in the runoff election. Whaley defeated Gipson in the runoff election. Candidates in Mississippi special elections run without party labels.
