2017
A special election for the position of Mississippi House of Representatives District 54 was called for November 7, 2017. A runoff election was held on November 28, 2017. The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was September 18, 2017.[1]
The seat became vacant on July 2, 2017, after Alex Monsour (R) was sworn in as South Ward Alderman for the city of Vicksburg.[2]
Joe Bonelli, Randy Easterling, and Kevin Ford faced off in the special election. Since none of the candidates received more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two vote-getters in the special election, Easterling and Ford, faced off in the runoff election. Ford defeated Easterling in the runoff election. Candidates in Mississippi special elections run without party labels.[3]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
