Sun Herald: Ross defeats longtime supervisor Brodnax

In Jackson County, Ocean Springs Alderman Troy Ross, a newcomer to county politics, defeated incumbent Republican Supervisor Tommy Brodnax, who’s served as supervisor for 18 years during multiple stints. Ross won 59 percent to 41 percent in unofficial results. Ross faces Democrat Bo Alawine in the Nov. 8 general election.

“I think a lot of people wanted a change, wanted someone who will return their calls and remember that they work for the taxpayers, not the other way around,” Ross said.
