The city of Madison issued the following statement.
The Board of Aldermen has ordered a Special Election on Tuesday December 15 to fill the vacancy for Alderman-at-Large.
State law requires a special election because more than six months remain in the current term of office. State law sets the election process, the qualification guidelines and the timeline.
· Qualifying deadline is Wednesday, November 25.
· Candidate information packets are available in the Office of the City Clerk at 1004 Madison Ave.

7 hours, no comments? Madison is doomed. It's over. Sell while you can.
In other words, anybody interested has to show up at City Hall and interact with the Queen's staff. They'll all be alerted by the secret button/switch...Somebody is here to pick up the alderman packet...and you'll see them enter the hallway, peek around corners and watch from the windows as you get back in your car. This gives the Queen ample time to decide who will be elected and who will suffer the wrath of her sabre. Nobody is elected without her support. Politics in Madison, The Not For Sale City.
Would be interesting if someone simply showed up, asked for a packet and declined to give Mary's girl his/her name. Bedlam would ensue.
Hopefully, someone will run that won’t kiss Queen Mary’s arse and will stand up to her and her BS.
let's all rally behind the pro initiative 65 candidate.
When is someone..anyone..going to step up and do what's in the best interest of the area? How has the wool been pulled over this community for this long? No qualified person is going to submit their name. This position was filled months ago..the amount of fear that's been instilled into folks is just mind blowing! The only ones here who stand a chance are the brainwashed followers..it's like sitting back & watching everyone fall into a giant sink hole.
Hate to be contrary, but Mayor Mary has built one of the destination cities in Mississippi. Compare what she has done with dozens of other cities over the past decades. Why fight her? Her results speak for themselves. Yes she steps on feet occasionally but any mayor has to do that. Some Madisonites are probably hoping the next Alderman will be on her team.
For those of you Mayor Mary haters you can stick with your Mayor Baby Chok and continue to live in the Jacktown. We don't want you up here.
Have you ever been to any other cities? One(s)that were actually planned out to accommodate growth? The current amount of congestion is growing faster than this city can keep up. The roads are an absolute embarrassment compared to many other cities. Let's not forget about all the new homes being built with hefty price tags with only one or two ways in or out. More homes..more people..more children..more traffic! What's the plan to tackle this growing issue? The local grocery stores can barely keep up..businesses can't pay enough to get employees that are willing to cross city lines, due to racial profiling..Oh...that's right..shhhh...that doesn't happen here. Growth has such a powerful impact on any city. If you are in support of the growth..elect representatives who proactively build not for the looks but for the safe roads to handle the traffic that comes with growth. We are not just watching a giant sinkhole..we are watching the biggest traffic accident happen before our eyes..and to know that this could have been avoided. This has nothing to do with being on a team nor working with a current servant leadership. This boils down to the good old boys & girls club..the biggest click around.
Where's Crosby been ?
Pretty sure he left Kroger . . . so mopping up broken pickle jars on isle three is not his biggest concern anymore.
Since this is about Madison, just wondered about John Bell's whereabouts.
Human poop still flows out of man holes after a big rain on Clark Farms road. So don't lecture me about how Mary has planned for growth.
Please little baby Jesus, please let somebody walk in with a Initiative 65 tee shirt and ask for a candidate package.
Mary better watch out because anybody with $500 can take an election on December 15. If turnout exceeds 1,000 people I'll be shocked.
What about that crazy SWAT guy who keeps running against Joel Bomgar? That might be his toe hold in to Madison politics.
Yep, Madison is a sink hole. Stay in Jackson, the Radical City.
@3:24 PM - It's "aisle," not isle, bright spark.
8:10 - You're wrong. With enough busted pickle jars, isle is correct. Here's your sign!
There is Bruce Bartley who is pro police he would make a good alderman who can work with the the city. Micah Gober would be a good alderman always shows the best of Madison on his Facebook. Then there is Sandra Warren she should run to because she had a good working relationship with the city.
