NATCHEZ — Natchez Mayor Butch Brown qualified Monday for re-election in the upcoming city election.

Brown is currently serving his third term. He served his first tenure as mayor from 1992-2000 and was elected for a third in 2012.

The qualification period for the 2016 municipal elections opened Jan. 4 and will end March 10.

Former Adams County Board of Supervisors President Darryl Grennell and sitting Ward 4 Alderman Tony Fields are also running for mayor in the June election.

Incumbent Ward 1 Alderwoman Joyce Arceneaux-Mathis qualified for re-election.

In Ward 2, Tamathy Dunn-Franklin and Billy Joe Frazier qualified for the alderman seat recently vacated by Rickey Gray and temporarily filled by Judge Mary Lee Toles. Gray successfully ran for county supervisor and vacated his alderman seat earlier this year.

In Ward 4, Jeremy Houston, Edwin White and Felicia Irving have qualified for the seat currently filled by Fields, who will vacate his spot on the board of alderman by running for mayor.

Sitting Ward 5 Alderman Mark Fortenbery and challenger Benjamin Davis have qualified.

Local attorney Carmen Brooks has qualified for Municipal Judge, a position for which incumbent Judge Jim Blough said last month he will not run in 2016.

The partisan primaries will be May 10 and runoffs, if needed, will be May 24.

The general election will be June 7.
