MS-01 is in the northern part of Mississippi. From 1941-1996 it was represented by Dem. Jamie Whitten, the longest House tenure in history.

CQ

The Dems won MS-01, 54-46, in a special election earlier this year. The seat came open when Gov. Barbour picked current rep. Roger Wicker to fill Trent Lott's Senate seat. President Bush carried this district with 62% in 2004. This November features a rematch between incumbent very freshman Travis Childers and Republican Greg Davis. FEC data on June 30th (not long after the special election) showed both candidates with slightly more debt than cash on hand. Davis should benefit from a larger turnout this November in a conservative district, but losing just a few months ago probably won't help his cause.
