Mississippi Democrats have chosen two new nominees to challenge Republican incumbents in the state's 3rd and 4th Districts in the Nov. 6 election.

Democratic chairman Rickey Cole says the party will ask the state Election Commission to put the names of Vicki Slater of Madison on the 3rd District ballot and Matthew Moore of Biloxi on the 4th District ballot.

Cole says Michael Herrington of Hattiesburg withdrew from the 4th District race, as did Crystal Biggs of Florence in the 3rd District.

Republican incumbents are Gregg Harper in the 3rd District and Steven Palazzo in the 4th District.
