By Caleb Bedillion Daily Journal TUPELO – A pair of City Council incumbents emerged unscathed from contested primary races Tuesday. Ward 2’s first-term incumbent Lynn Bryan bested challenger Phillip Thomason with almost 64 percent of the vote total, according to unofficial results. That primary victory assures Bryan a second term on the City Council. In Ward 4, long-serving incumbent Nettie Davis fended off primary opponents Gregory Humphrey and Tommy “Jake” Ruff. She earned about 61 percent of votes, easily avoiding a potential runoff.
