Lafayette County:
Hillary Clinton was the favored Democratic candidate in Lafayette County as well as Mississippi with 64 percent of the votes. Bernie Sanders took 35 percent and Rocky De La Fuente earned seven votes. In the Republican race, Donald Trump earned 36 percent, just barely beating Ted Cruz who earned 33 percent of Lafayette County’s votes.
In the 1st Congressional District race, first-term U.S. Rep. Trent Kelly defeated Navy veteran Paul Clever in the Republican primary. Kelly is a former district attorney who won a June 2015 special election to fill a vacancy left by the death of Republican Rep. Alan Nunnelee. Kelly will face three challengers in November. Jacob Owens is a Democrat, Chase Wilson is a Libertarian and Cathy L. Toole is with the Reform Party.
