A rose to all the candidates in Tuesday’s municipal primary elections. Five of 11 contested primary elections in Columbus, Starkville and West Point have been decided. Those winning candidates Jacqueline DiCicco (Ward 6 Columbus city Council), Roy A.

We urge citizens who did not vote Tuesday to turn out for the next election either the possible runoffs to decide the primary and certainly in the June 8 general election. Every vote counts, as we saw in this week’s primary.
