Lumumba, Horhn share final messages with Jackson voters ahead of April 22 runoff election
Incumbent Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and challenger Sen. John Horhn made final campaign pushes — and shared closing messages with Jackson voters — ahead of Tuesday’s high-stakes Democratic mayoral runoff.
Jackson voters will head to the polls once more to choose between Lumumba and Horhn for the Democratic mayoral nomination. The winner will move on to the June 3 general election, where they’ll face the Republican nominee and four Independent candidates.
The April 1 Democratic primary election saw Horhn dominate with 48.4% of the vote compared to Lumumba's 16.8%, according to the official election results certified on April 10. Horhn and Lumumba beat out 10 other Democratic candidates vying for Jackson's top office in the primary elections.
Horhn, who has run for mayor multiple times previously, fell just shy of the 50%-plus-one needed to win outright. Lumumba is seeking his third term in office.
