A cousin of Elvis Presley is the Democratic candidate for governor in Mississippi, after winning his primary unopposed on Tuesday.
The general election will be held on 7 November. The Democrat, Brandon Presley, said he would advocate for people who struggle to make ends meet.
He will face the current Republican governor, Tate Reeves, who defeated two first-time candidates, John Witcher, a physician, and David Hardigree, a military veteran.
The national Democrats think Mississippi is theirs for the taking, Reeves told supporters in Jackson. Theyve circled our state, and theyve hand-picked their candidate
these national Democrats think they can use him to inject their liberal ideology into Mississippi under the guise of being a moderate.
Presley said: This race is going to come down to
which candidate, and I believe thats me, has got guts and the backbone to stand up for the people of Mississippi and which candidate has consistently showed us that he will do whatever his lobbyist buddies want him to do and will not stand up for the people of Mississippi.
