The two winners will fill the unexpired terms of David Jordan and John Horhn.
Voters returned to the polls Tuesday to fill vacated seats in two Mississippi state Senate districts.
The non-partisan contests in Senate District 24 and Senate District 26 featured fields with multiple candidates running for the vacated seats in the November 4 special election.
The top two in each race advanced to Tuesday’s special runoff election, with the winner filling the unexpired terms of retiring State Senator David Jordan (D) and now Jackson Mayor John Horhn (D).
Both winners are likely to caucus with Senate Democrats given their history and policy positions.
Here are the results in each race.
