The unofficial voting results from Rankin County show that Shanks received over 58% of the vote with Morrow getting a little over 41% of the vote.
Shanks is a former Brandon alderman and while Mississippi special election candidates forgo party labels, Shanks said that he would caucus with Republicans.
