Compare the candidates

As we close on Election Day, I thought you might want to compare the candidates. We all have two things in common. The first is we are all running for the Senate. And the second is I believe we all are good people.

But that is where it ends. When you compare the three of us, you will quickly see, I am the only candidate with the experience needed to be your next Senator. Being a small business owner and over 14 years as Mayor has uniquely prepared me to represent you the fine people of District 39. I am the only candidate that has a plan to help create jobs. I have actively been involved with that in Southwest Mississippi over the last 18 years. I am the only candidate with a plan to improve education. I also have been involved with early education for 8 years, being on the Board of Directors for the local head start agency and the Board of Directors for the Boys and Girls Club after school program. I also have a plan to better transportation and to battle crime. Recently at one of the many forums we have attended, a question was asked by a firefighter about State Rebate monies that come back to cities and counties. One of the others in the race did not even know what that was.

For the last 14 years I have worked to make Mississippi better. As Mayor of Monticello I have balanced 14 straight budgets, reduced the general fund debt to less than $60,000.00, increased services and have helped to bring jobs to the area. I have been a member of the Mississippi Municipal Leagues Legislative committee. I have been at the capitol introducing legislation to make our lives better. Now I would enjoy the opportunity to represent you as your next Senator. The other two in the race, have been Lawyers. Let’s send someone with the experience and qualifications to be a Senator to Jackson to represent the citizens of District 39.
