Two candidates have been making calls to gauge support for a run in the 3rd Congressional District as Democrats. The seat is open due to incumbent Pickering's retirement.
The first is Randall C. Eads.
Eads is 30 and has degrees from the Virginia Military Institute and Mississippi College Law School. He worked 5 years in banking, is married, and will take the bar exam in Febuary of 2008. He is a resident of Oktibbeha County.
The second is Joel Gill.
Gill is 56 and is a graduate of Millsaps. He is a cattleman and is a member of the Pickens City Council. Though Pickens is not in the 3rd Congressional district there is no prohibition against him running. He is only required to be a state resident.
I was wondering when some Democrats would emerge for this admittedly tough Congressional District. Here are two early choices.
You read it here first.
I was kinda hoping John Arthur Eaves would give it a shot. I haven't read anything to that effect however.
