Qualifying kicks off today for 24 county and district races where voters in Warren County will decide winners in summer primaries and fall’s general election, a cycle marked by new district lines in county and state races.

All five seats on the Warren County Board of Supervisors are up for re-election, as are members of the local legislative delegation. Countywide offices such as sheriff, chancery clerk, circuit clerk, coroner, tax assessor and tax collector will be renewed. District posts such as district attorney, constable and justice court join those on the ballot.

Qualifying ends Feb. 27 for local and statewide candidates. Primaries are Aug. 4 and the general election is Nov. 3.

Eight statewide offices appear on the ballot this year, including governor and lieutenant governor, which traditionally pump up interest in local races. Two multicounty district races on the ballot this year are for the Public Service Commission and Transportation Commission. Each elect northern, central and southern district commissioners.

Voters in Warren County will recognize circuit clerk and central district constable quickly, as both will appear on the ballot for the second time in as many elections. Jan Hyland Daigre won a special election runoff Nov. 25 for the circuit clerk’s position after the post was declared vacant last May amid scandal. Troy Kimble won the central district constable’s post in a special election Nov. 4. He was appointed to the job after the death of Randy Naylor in 2013.

Incumbents on the board are expected to run for their respective seats again. If so, it’s a list that would have 78 years on the board collectively — Board President Bill Lauderdale, on the board for 24 years, District 5 Supervisor Richard George, on the board for 20 of the last 24 years, District 3 Supervisor Charles Selmon, first elected in 1995, District 2’s William Banks, elected in 2005, and District 1’s John Arnold elected in 2011.

In the Legislature, state Reps. Alex Monsour, Oscar Denton and state Sen. Briggs Hopson III are expected to run again, but in districts redrawn to reflect population shifts in the 2010 census. Also, redistricting will add one legislator to the list of lawmakers with constituents in Warren County.

District 54, represented since 2008 by Monsour, picks up part of southern Yazoo County to make up for losing territory in Warren County’s Yokena and Goodrum precincts, which moves to District 85, represented by Chuck Middleton, D-Port Gibson. Middleton’s district already covered smaller parts of the same precincts. District 54 also loses pieces of Rolling Fork and Mayersville that had been in the district since 2002.

District 55, represented by Denton, moves east in 2015 to pick up areas between Vicksburg city limits and Mississippi 27. George Flaggs Jr. represented the district for 25 years before he retired to run for Vicksburg mayor.

District 63’s representative, Deborah Butler Dixon, D-Raymond, picks up the Tingleville precinct to make up for losing half of Utica.

Senate District 23 keeps all of Warren and Issaquena counties but moves farther north into Yazoo, picking up part of Yazoo City and all of Bentonia.
