What voters will decide
The Nov. 3 general election will determine who represents Mississippi’s 4th District in the U.S. House. Because the race is contested, voters will choose among multiple candidates rather than seeing only one name for the office.
Party labels identify three candidates as Democrats and three as Republicans. Charles Thomas Claburn is listed with AIC, while Boyanton Lester Carl is listed as an independent. Ezell is the only candidate identified as the incumbent, meaning he currently holds the office.
Hulum’s place in the field is clear: a Democratic candidacy in an eight-person general election. A fuller comparison will depend on whether the candidates establish documented positions, biographical records or campaign finance figures before Election Day.
