Rankin County

With 31.73% of the vote, Sid Scarbrough won the race to become the next supervisor for Rankin County's District 1. This will be Scarbrough's first time in elected office. He is replacing Jared Morrison, who is running for state senate.

Scarbrough defeated three challengers: Michael Windham, who won 27.29% of the vote, Justin Ashley, 20.84% and William Todd Whatley, 20.14%.

In the District 2 race, Scott Berry defeated Fred Lovett in a landslide win. Berry took home 86.99% of the vote versus Lovett's 13.01%. Berry is replacing Daniel Cross, who decided to run for the county's chancery clerk position.

Berry previously told the Clarion Ledger that his campaign was focused on improving public safety and education in District 2. As a former fire chief in the county, he is also focused on improving fire safety.

"I want to try to help the county to improve. I think we're all blessed to live here," Berry said.

Both Scarbrough and Berry do not have any Democratic challengers opposing them in the Nov. 7 general election, meaning they have secured their seat on the county's board of supervisors.

They will be joining incumbent District 3 supervisor Bard Calhoun and incumbent District 5 supervisor Jay Bishop on the board. Both ran unopposed in the Republican primary and are not facing a Democratic challenger in the general election.

The District 4 supervisor race will see Republican Steve Gaines, who ran unopposed in the primary, facing off in the general election against Ava Harvey, who is running as an Independent.
