The Panolian newspaper is announcing publication of a political tabloid section in July for county candidates running for supervisor.

The special section will publish July 22, eleven days before the August 2 party primaries.

Among its duties, the five-person Board of Supervisors oversees the budget for Panola County government and maintains public roads and bridges.

All five supervisors have drawn opponents — 10 Democrats, three Republicans, and five independents — during the current election cycle.  

Incumbent supervisors and their challengers will answer questions posed by the newspaper with the answers published in the July 22 issue.

Incumbents and their challengers must pick up their questions in person at The Panolian office beginning at noon Friday, June 24.

Instructions about submitting answers will be included with the questions.
