The June 3, 2025 municipal election in Vicksburg will take place without need of primaries for any of three races appearing on the ballot, officials with the Vicksburg City Clerk’s office confirmed Wednesday.

Following the Jan. 31, deadline to qualify for the races of mayor, Ward 1 alderman and Ward 2 alderman in Vicksburg, three candidates have emerged for the mayoral race; two candidates will vie for the office of alderman in Ward 2; and Ward 1 Alderman Thomas “T.J.” Mayfield will run unopposed.

Vicksburg City Clerk Deborah Kaiser-Nickson said both Republican and Democratic executive committees have verified there is no need for primary elections in 2025.

Officially running for office of mayor on the 2025 ballot are incumbent Mayor George Flaggs Jr. (I), former Vicksburg Ward 1 Alderman Willis Thompson (D) and Kasman Massey (I). Kaiser-Nelson said that, per Mississippi law, more than one Independent candidate in the same race does not constitute the need for a primary; however, two Democrats or two Republicans would trigger a primary were the candidates running for the same office.

In the race for Vicksburg’s Ward 2 Alderman seat, incumbent Alex Monsour (R) will face challenger Vickie Bailey (I).
