“Mississippi needs for you to feel the desires of your heart,” he said. “The era of low expectations is over. Your generation is an essential part of that.”

Haley Barbour’s administration following Hurricane Katrina. He called on the young men of Boys State to step up and take leadership roles in the state’s government.
