Municipal Election Day <\/strong>June 8, 2021 in Oxford, Mississippi<\/strong> will be remembered for the heavy rain, but a torrential downpour didn\u2019t stop the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some 2,246 registered locals traversed rain-soaked roads and flash flooding to cast their ballots in Oxford\u2019s municipal election. Another 836 voted by absentee ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Robyn Tannehill<\/strong> will serve another term after handily defeating her opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tannehill gathered an astounding 83% of the 3,082 votes cast in Oxford, walloping Independent candidate Brandon Pettis<\/strong> (319 votes, 11%) and Republican Kyle Davis <\/strong>(154 votes, 5%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the only other race voted upon by all of Oxford, Alderman At-Large John Morgan <\/strong>won re-election, receiving 59% of the votes (1,792). Morgan\u2019s opponent, Democrat Linda Porter Bishop<\/strong> received 40% (1,224 votes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Ward II<\/strong>, 917 people voted. Republican incumbent Mark Huelse <\/strong>won a decisive victory receiving 70% of his constituents\u2019 votes (641), defeating Democrat challenger Afton Thomas<\/strong>, who received 30% (275 votes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ward VI<\/strong>, 539 people voted. Mayor ProTem Jason Bailey<\/strong> won re-election, defeating Democrat challenger Miguel Centellas<\/strong>. Bailey received 67% of the vote (359) to Centellas\u2019 33% (180 votes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Janice Antonow<\/strong> retired as Alderman of Ward III<\/strong>, first-time office seekers Brian Hyneman<\/strong> (Democrat) and McQueen Miscamble<\/strong> (Republican) registered for election. Attorney Brian Hyneman emerged victorious by securing 321 votes (65%) to veterinarian McQueen Miscamble\u2019s 35% (173 votes). 494 Ward III voters braved the weather to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ward V<\/strong> lived up to its reputation for low turnout, with only 176 on record. Democrat incumbent Preston Taylor<\/strong> received 130 of those votes (74%), while Republican businessman Barney Chadwick<\/strong> brought out 45 votes (26%). Taylor is elected to his sixth term as Alderman for Ward V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Wards I<\/strong> and IV<\/strong>, both Rick Addy<\/strong> and Kesha Howell Atkinson <\/strong>ran unopposed and are re-elected. From Ward I, 654 locals voted, while in Ward IV, 215 locals voted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 42 affidavit ballots to be counted, but the tally is not expected to affect the outcome of any race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
