BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Biloxi Mayor Andrew âFoFoâ Gilich will serve another term as the cityâs mayor after his lone opponent was disqualified.

The committee also removed Maurice âMoâ Williams from the ballot for the Biloxi Ward 2 council seat, leaving incumbent Felix Gines facing independent Tracey Smith in the general election.
