PETAL, Miss. (WDAM) - There will be no need for a runoff in the Republican primary for Mayor of Petal.
According to City Clerk Melissa Martin and the Petal Election Commission, Tony Ducker has been declared mayor-elect after affidavit ballots were added to Tuesday’s election totals, giving him the 50% plus one vote required to win the nomination outright.
Ducker will not face a Democratic or Independent challenger in the June general election, meaning he will be the next mayor of The Friendly City.
