Two incumbents added their names to the list of others seeking re-election in this year’s county and statewide elections.

District Attorney Ricky Smith, 52, and Tax Collector Antonia Flaggs Jones, 39, filed to run in the Democratic primary Aug. 2. The general election is Nov. 8.

Both are first-time public officials, as Smith was elected four years ago after bouncing 16-year incumbent Gil Martin from the post representing the Ninth Circuit Court District. It covers Warren, Sharkey and Issaquena counties. Jones, a niece of state Rep. George Flaggs, was elected without opposition in a 2009 special election following the retirement of 15-year incumbent Pat Simrall, under whom she worked as a title and deputy clerk for nearly the entire 15 years.

District attorneys in Mississippi prosecute adult felony crimes and certain limited crimes committed by those younger than 17. The tax collector’s office receives payments of property taxes and fees on real estate and vehicles for the county, and, by contract, for the City of Vicksburg.

In Warren County, voters will choose winners in eight statewide races and 24 district-level and countywide offices. Also, voters will decide the fate of three initiatives placed on ballots by separate petitions — definition of a person, voter identification and eminent domain.

Qualifying ends March 1 for statewide and local races and June 1 for legislative posts.

All five county supervisors will seek new terms this year.

District 1 Supervisor David McDonald faces a primary challenge from businessman Joe Channell. District 2 Supervisor William Banks has picked up a primary challenge from city zoning board member Tommie Rawlings, who lost to Banks four years ago. District 5 Supervisor Richard George, an independent, has drawn one opponent, J.W. Carroll, an independent. Supervisors Charles Selmon in District 3 and Bill Lauderdale in District 4 have drawn no challengers.

Sheriff Martin Pace, an independent, faces opposition from former deputy Bubba Comans, who filed Wednesday as a Democrat.
