SUMMARY: Rodney Hall, a Republican candidate, made history by becoming the first black Republican elected to the Mississippi House of Representatives since Reconstruction. He defeated Charlie Hoots in the Republican primary for Mississippi House District 20 by 10 points. With no Democratic challengers in the general election, Hall's victory is significant. He is a nearly 20-year National Guard veteran and a former staffer of U.S. Representative Trent Kelly. Hall is focused on addressing the future challenges of Mississippi, including poverty, education, and overall health and well-being. In other election news, incumbent Judiciary B Chairman Representative Nick Bain is likely heading to a runoff, and Representative Jason White won his primary race with 80% of the vote.
