JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi voters were deciding winners for one seat on the state Supreme Court and one on the state Court of Appeals. Runoff elections were Tuesday. Supreme Court Justice Jim Kitchens is seeking a third term in the central district. He is challenged by state Sen. Jenifer Branning. Mississippi judicial candidates run without party labels, but Democratic areas largely supported Kitchens on Nov. 5 and Republican ones supported Branning. The Court of Appeals runoff is in the southeastern corner of the state. It is between Amy St. Pe’, who is a Gautier municipal judge, and Jennifer Schloegel, who is a chancery court judge.
