TUPELO ⢠Four candidates are competing in the Republican primary for the Tupelo City Councilâs Ward 1 seat, an open race that has drawn a competitive field of candidates
The current councilman representing that ward, Markel Whittington, is running for mayor. That means no incumbent candidate will appear on the ballot.
The candidates â Amanda Angle, Eric Hampton, Megan Kessler and Chad Mims â will face off in the Republican primary, which occurs on April 6. If no single candidate receives a share of the vote that exceeds 50%, a runoff will occur between the top two vote-getters on April 27.
The winner of the Republican primary will face Democratic candidate Geraldine Brinkley during the June 8 general election.
