JACKSON (AP) — Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree has won the Democratic nomination for Mississippi governor, becoming the first black candidate to win major-party nod for the state’s top job.

DuPree defeated Clarksdale attorney and developer Bill Luckett in Tuesday’s Democratic primary runoff.

He advances to the Nov. 8 general election to face Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant, who already has spent more than twice as much as DuPree and Luckett, combined.

Independent Will Oatis of Silver Creek is running for governor. Two rival factions of the Reform Party also want to put a candidate in the race, but the state Board of Election Commissioners has not yet decided which Reform candidate — if either — can to run.

Republican Gov. Haley Barbour could not seek a third term this year.

In the Republican primary runoff for Mississippi treasurer, Lynn Fitch has defeated Lee Yancey.

Fitch will face Ocean Springs Mayor Connie Moran, who was unopposed for the Democratic nomination. A faction of the Reform Party also wants to put a candidate on the ballot in the November general election.

Fitch, 49, of Madison and Yancey, 43, of Brandon, emerged from a three-person primary on Aug. 2.

There’s no incumbent in the treasurer’s race this year because Republican Tate Reeves, who’s held the job two terms, is running for lieutenant governor.
