Incumbent Josephine Anderson, 63, is being challenged by fellow Democrat James Rice, 67. Anderson's record was marred by the ballot problems in Senate District 29 that ultimately resulted in Democratic challenger Dewayne Thomas losing the seat to incumbent Richard White, even though he was declared the winner by 135 votes. (White was re-elected in a special election.) Rice has served six years on the Hinds County Democratic Executive Committee and a dozen years on the state Democratic Executive Committee.
