District 3 Candidate Tackles A 24 In 48 Tour

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI)- Whit Hughes, who’s looking to fill Mississippi’s 3rd Congressional District seat, has been on the road visiting every county in the district.

Hughes and his wife Shelley, started in Natchez and hit all 24 counties in District 3, in just 48 hours.

Hughes says with the help of his campaign team, along with a tight schedule, the 24 in 48 tour was a success.

During the two day trip, Hughes spent the days meeting with voters as well as city and county leaders.

Many may remember Hughes as a former MSU basketball star.

He says there was a lot of talk of basketball, but also they stayed on topic and he says that’s how he plans to win the race.

“I’m going to work hard everyday for every county in this district. I’m going to be successful in this race for the same reasons I’ve been successful with everything else in life and I’m just going to outwork everybody around me,” said Hughes.

The primary election for District 3 is June 5th.
