Oct 28, 2015: Sun Herald: Two former GOP chiefs, angry about Kemper, endorse Democrat Blanton
Democrat Thomas Blanton faces Republican Sam Britton in that race to replace Steve Renfroe, who was appointed to fill a vacancy on the PSC and chose not to run for the post.
Both Mike Retzer, former ambassador to Tanzania, and former GOP state chairman Clarke Reed said Mississippi Power Co.'s Kemper power plant was the issue that caused them to cross party lines and back Blanton.
