DAILY JOURNAL interview with McGlowan
TUPELO – Angela McGlowan makes no apologizes for her lobbyist past or what some have called her anti-establishment campaign to win Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District seat.
The Lafayette County native and former Fox News political analyst told a Daily Journal editorial board on Thursday she’s proud of it all.
“I’m a lady true to my word and I’m a fighter, and I’m going to fight for” the people of the north Mississippi, said McGlowan, wearing a black dress and long pearl necklace. “The true people I run into say (my Washington, D.C., experience) is a plus.”
McGlowan is vying for the Republican nomination against state Sen. Alan Nunnelee, R-Tupelo, and former Eupora Mayor Henry Ross. The three face off in the GOP primary June 1.
Although each claims to support the party’s core conservative values, McGlowan says she’s best qualified to exemplify those principles on Capitol Hill.
She called Nunnelee a flip-flopper whose voting record betrays him, and she termed Ross “a nice guy” but questioned his ability to shake things up in Congress. McGlowan said she’s never wavered in her informed positions and has the clout to accomplish her goals if elected.
