Criminal Appeals Judge Beth Kellum will meet Will Smith in a runoff for the Republican nomination for the Place 2 seat. Kellum, who has served on the five-member court since 2009, led a three-person field but couldn’t get a majority. She and Smith, a former member of the Lauderdale County Commission, will meet in the runoff on March 31.
