Nov 13, 2011: Daily Kos: Republican MS State Senate
SD-04 Rita Parks (R-Corinth)
The 4th is one of the districts that is affected by the drawing of the 10th. It gets pushed west and now stretches along the northern tier of the state. The northeastern part of the state is one of the last bastions of ConservaDem territory in the state. Even though Sen. Parks knocked off incumbent Democrat Eric Powell in 2011, at 64% McCain, this district rates just a Lean R for now.
