Incumbent Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney, a Republican, will face opposition in his bid for re-election.
Louis Fondren, a Democrat, who ran for governor in 2007, is running against Chaney.
Fondren, an attorney and real estate broker, is a former mayor, district judge and state representative and former insurance adjuster.
He said he would make lowering insurance premiums his priority if elected.
This year’s party primaries are Aug. 2, and the general election is Nov. 8.
