On the issues, there is not a lot of daylight between Republicans Susan Wright and Jake Ellzey. Both are conservatives who believe in limited government, Second Amendment rights, low taxes and personal responsibility. And both want to represent U.S. District 6 in Congress.
Although neither candidate was our choice in the May 1 special election, which drew 23 candidates, our recommendation in the runoff election on July 27 goes to Ellzey, 51, for the seat formerly held by Wright’s late husband, Ron Wright, who died from COVID-19 in February.
