He's a perennial candidate and the only option Mississippi voters will have other than Thad Cochran or Travis Childers.

A member of the Reform Party, which has largely disappeared on the national level since the 2000 presidential election, O'Hara's views include favoring the execution of abortion doctors and sympathizing with Samuel Bowers, a KKK member who murdered several civil rights activists in the 1960s.

His electoral history is below...

1991 - MS Governor - Reform Party - 1.58%
2000 - US Senate - Reform Party - 0.74%
2002 - US Senate - Reform Party - 15.42% (only candidate on the ballot besides Cochran)
2003 - MS Governor - Reform Party - 0.46%
2007 - MS State Treasurer - Democratic Party - 39.47%
2008 - Democratic Party Primary for US Senate - 34.2%
2010 - Democratic Party Primary for MS 3rd congressional district - 18.3%
2011 - MS State Treasurer - Reform Party - 3.01%
2012 - US Senate - Reform Party - 1.06%

2.5% probably.

Also, if a mod wants to move this to the Congressional elections board, that would be great. I was working on something else while I was making this poll and didn't notice what board I was on.

I would not be surprised if he gets 3-4%.

He'll end up improving quite a bit from his 2012 performance and score around 5% of the vote. There will be a sizable outcome of pro-McDaniel, Tea Party voters who refuse to cast a vote for Cochran, but won't cast a vote for Childers either leaving just O'Hara.

On a side note, that 2008 race for the Dem nomination for Senate was an absolute embarrassment to the state party. The other alternative who ultimately beat O'Hara to face Cochran was a LaRouchite. :/
