CL: Pelahatchie mayor to run for Mississippi Senate
Pelahatchie Mayor Knox Ross has announced his candidacy for the state Senate.
Ross said he will seek to take the District 20 seat currently occupied by state Sen. Lee Yancey, who previously has announced his bid for state treasurer in the upcoming state general elections.
If elected, Ross said he knows he will have to step down from his current post as mayor.
“That’s sort of the down side to the whole thing,” he said.
After serving as Pelahatchie’s leader for about ten years, Ross said he wanted to pursue a seat in the state legislature because he has seen the impact an effective senator can have on his area.
