April 23,2014: Jackson Free Press: Party Switchers Cause Rifts
Ken Dale Sullivan, a Democrat who lives in Wesson, has twice run for a seat in the Mississippi Legislature—for the House in 2007 against Rep. Becky Currie, R-Brookhaven, and for an open seat in the Senate in 2011. He sued his party earlier this month for allowing Bill Marcy's name to appear on the party primary ballot as a Democrat for U.S. Senate.
Marcy lives in Jackson and ran as a Republican in 2012 against eight-term Democratic Congressman Bennie Thompson. In Sullivan's complaint, filed in Copiah County Chancery Court earlier this month, he argues that Marcy should not have been certified to compete as a Democrat because he is "not in accord wit the principles and the rules" of the party as outlined by the party's constitutional bylaws.
