Musgrove, Wicker vie for veterans’ votes
Musgrove stood at the podium, surrounded by veterans of all ages, promising change, and challenging his opponents voting record on healthcare, job assistance and pay raises for vets.
Musgrove says, “Our veterans deserve better and Roger Wicker has been on the wrong side of important issues dealing with veterans.”
Also critical of Wicker, Virginia Senator Jim Webb, author of a bill passed giving post-9/11 veterans educational benefits.
Webb says, “We didn’t get much help from the incumbent Senators in Mississippi on that bill, I think it was a common sense vote if people did care about taking care of our troops not only today, but down the stretch for the rest of their lives.”
Wicker campaign worker Ryan Annison responded saying, “Roger Wickers record for vets benefits is absolutely solid. He wouldn’t be receiving the endorsement from the V.F.W. If it wasn’t. Ronnie Musgrove’s got no campaign no ideas, so he resorts to false attacks.”
