I’ve heard of Flowers but not Nunnelee. The rats actually took back the MS Senate in 2007. Unfortunate.

I agree we should run Nunnelee. The Memphis burbs are as much a part of this district as any other but if those rural folks won’t vote for someone from there against fauxcon Childers well that’s that, this is a must win.

We haven’t actually won the MS Senate at a general election, only via party switches, which can be tricky. We had that happen in TN in ‘95, but the Senate reverted to the Dems at the next election so we never had working control of it. It took until 2007 before we obtained working control.

More than likely with the growth of the Memphis suburbs that district will shrink in area until a lot of the outermost rural areas end up in an adjacent district, although that may not be until 2023. The rural areas of the 1st can still outvote the suburbs.
