Ron Dickey Midterm Election Results: Democrat Defeated By Alan Nunnelee

Democrat Ron Dickey was defeated by Rep. Alan Nunnelee (R-Miss.) in the state's 1st District Tuesday.

Nunnelee was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2010. Before that, he served in the Mississippi Senate.

Dickey faced criticism earlier this year after it was found that his literature from his campaign described him as serving with the U.S. Special Forces as a Green Beret. He apologized and explained that he was attached as a food service specialist with the Special Forces during Operation Desert Storm. The chairman of the Mississippi Democratic Party said in August that he thought Dickey should resign, which the candidate refused to do.
