Stacey Hobgood Wilkes took the oath of office on August 9th to represent District 108 in the Mississippi House of Representatives.
Wilkes was elected on July 25 during a special election.
She is set to fulfill the term of Mark Formby, who stepped down in May after accepting an appointment by Governor Phil Bryant to the Mississippi Workers Compensation Commission.
“This is an amazing experience,” said Wilkes. “I’m humbled to have the opportunity to represent the people of Pearl River County, and I thank God for the chance to serve the state of Mississippi in this capacity.”
Wilkes currently serves on the State Executive Committee of the Mississippi Republican Party and on the Pearl River County Republican Executive Committee.
