UPDATE: Municipal primary ballot qualifying list
UPDATE: Jan 24, 2025– The latest lists of candidates on the Olive Branch and Horn Lake municipal primary election ballots were adjusted Friday as new names were added for the April 1 vote.
In Horn Lake, Democrats qualifying include Marrell Brand, running for Alderman Ward 3, and Kelly Lee Smith, running for Alderman Ward 4. Republican Joseph “Joe” Zachary also qualified for Alderman Ward 1 and would challenge William “Bill” Adelman for that party’s nod from the primary. Brand and Smith currently have no other challengers in their party but would have Republican opposition past the primary.
In Olive Branch, Republican Mike Hutchins qualified for Alderman Ward 3 and would join what is now a three-person race for that party’s spot on the general election ballot. He now joins Don Gammage and Dion Jones on that ballot.
The rundown of all of the municipal primary races as we have them through the City Clerk’s offices is available at the following link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRS6nfV47PsWez1BURLYzYQGTAlMs0DVTQxX638fnML_Wr6e0gZDxAN2E-bpv6qzJQUOvvfWVa2Qz1w/pubhtml
