Roger Wicker lost only nine counties, but all of those counties were within a figurative stone’s throw of his longtime home in Lee County.
Even Sen. Roger Wicker is not conservative enough for much of northeast Mississippi by Bobby Harrison, Mississippi Today March 31, 2024 U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker’s loss in his native northeast Mississippi in the Republican primary earlier this month most likely says more about the region than it does about him. Not surprisingly, Wicker won his reelection bid in the Republican primary by a comfortable margin, garnering 61% of the statewide vote.
Yet broadband access, which both Republicans and Democrats claim is as important in the modern era as electricity was in the 1930s, was cited by Burton as a reason to vote against Wicker. There was a belief at one point that a Democrat could win statewide by capturing northeast Mississippi. After all, four-term Attorney General Jim Hood, the last Democrat elected statewide, was from Chickasaw County in northeast Mississippi and routinely won the area in his elections.
