JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippians have voted in party primaries for four seats in the U.S. House and one in the Senate. Sen. Roger Wicker has defeated two Republican challengers and will face Democrat Ty Pinkins in the Nov. 5 general election. For the House, Democrat Dianne Dodson Black has won her party’s nomination in the 1st District. She advances to a rematch with Republican Rep. Trent Kelly, who was unopposed in his primary. Republican Rep. Mike Ezell is the only incumbent House member being challenged for a party nomination. He faces Carl Boyanton, who has owned a produce distribution company, and Michael McGill, a military veteran. Ezell was elected in 2022 in south Mississippi’s 4th District.
