Jamie Franks: Party affiliation of Senate leadership less important than “talent”

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, 8/15/7

Jamie Franks says he will not select key Senate committee chairs based on party affiliation if he is elected lieutenant governor Nov. 6.

“My approach is very simple. I want to use talent,” Franks told the Daily Journal editorial board Tuesday morning during a 60-minute interview. “I want people who can get the job done whether Democrat, Republican, black, white, male, female.”
