July 16, 2015: Clarion Ledger: Incumbents rack up cash
Republican Alisha Nelson McElhenney: Raised $8,740. Spent $4,155. Cash on hand $4,253. July 14, 2015: Y'all Politics: One last major push on financial reports - UPDATED
One item of note in the LG's race - the Tea Party/McGOP appears to have left Tate Reeves challenger, Alisha McElhenney, for dead. She's only raised about $8K total and has about $4K COH. That's pretty sad. For all of the online bluster about the revolution that was about to take place, it now seems pretty apparent that it was mostly gum-flapping. That appears to be a pretty cautionary tale for those who get sucked in with grand promises of support from the new-fangled Tea Party apparatus. |

Mar 2, 2015: Weide Report: Heralded Democrat Candidate for Governor of Mississippi Just Another Liberal Trial Lawyer
A couple of days before the qualifying deadline, Alicia Nelson McElhenney of Moss Point qualified as a candidate to run in Senate District 51, the district Watson has represented for the past two terms. Several newspaper and political reports called McElhenney a potential challenger to Watson if he ran for re-election instead of statewide office. McElhenney as “challenger” was never a part of the equation. McEllhenney is a tea party pal of Watson and if Watson ran for statewide office, Watson and his tea party friends wanted to make sure the seat remained in their hands.
