Reason for Seeking Public Office:
"I'm ready to return to Washington to help all people, businesses and industries of Mississippi's fourth congressional district. I hope to diplomatically encourage investment of all types in the future South Mississippi."
"I'm ready to return to Washington to free up red tape in Congress, so innovative new ideas surrounding renewable energy can develop and be put to good use here in Mississippi's fourth congressional district. I'm so proud of Stion's decision to move their solar panel manufacturing plant here to Hattiesburg, and I'm ready to diplomatically encourage similar investment in South Mississippi, while at the same time expecting Mississippi to step up to the plate and emerge a leader in renewable energy."
