Description Dates speculative.

On March 17, 2007, incumbent Insurance Commissioner George Dale (D) was denied ballot certification by the Mississippi Democratic Party Executive Committee, citing his lack of loyalty to the party. Dale plans to go to court to fight this decision and is considering to run for re-election as a Republican or an independent. [Link]

On May 14, 2007, a Calhoun County Circuit Judge ordered the Mississippi Democratic Party to reinstate Dale on the party's primary ballot. Additionally, the judge denied Dale's request to enter the general election race as an independent. [Link]
