Editor’s Note: A preview of mayoral candidate Candice Knowles’ platform will be in Saturday’s edition of the Daily Journal. By Caleb Bedillion Daily Journal TUPELO – It was his first election and his first electoral victory, but euphoria did not erase thought for the future. SHELTON That’s how Jason Shelton found himself, as mayor-elect of Tupelo in June of 2013, trekking across the city on a mission of thrift. “I went and picked up a couple hundred yard signs and kept them,” said Shelton in a recent interview with the Daily Journal. A then-37-year-old defense attorney running as a Democrat in a traditional Republican stronghold, Shelton swept into office in 2013 on promises to revitalize the city’s neighborhoods and renew civic spirit. Four years later, Shelton now seeks re-election to a second term and his bipartisan appeal seems solidified: No Republican candidate is in the race.
Comment on Running on record, Shelton wants to keep focus on fundamentals
