Elections
2014
William W. Canon, Bill Gavin, Bobby Patrick and Charles A. Younger faced off in the November 4 special election. Because no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two vote-getters - Patrick and Younger - met in a runoff election on November 25, which Younger won.[1] Special elections in Mississippi are nonpartisan.[2][3]
The seat was vacant following Terry W. Brown's (R) death from cancer.[4]
A special election for the position of Mississippi State Senate District 17 was called for November 4, 2014, with a runoff on November 25. The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was October 6.[5]
