Henry
Ross, candidate for the Republican Primary race for the U.S. House of
Representatives June 1, was in Holly Springs last Thursday visiting
businesses on his “Main Street Tour” – a 750-mile, four-day marathon
that took him to 30 cities in the First Congressional District. Three Republicans vie for their party’s nomination on Tuesday, June 1 – Angela McGlowan, Alan Nunnelee and Henry Ross. Childers is unopposed for the Democratic nomination. The
