Hattiesburg American – Palazzo stresses conservative principles

State Rep. Steven Palazzo feels Congress needs to return to a “God-centered, limited government” mentality.

“Those are conservative principles that worked well for our country,” the 4th Congressional District candidate told the Hattiesburg American’s editorial board Wednesday. “Every time we have gotten away from those principles, we’ve slipped a little further into despair.”

Palazzo, 40, faces off against 20-year congressional veteran Gene Taylor, a Democrat, on Nov. 2 along with Kenneth Hampton, a Libertarian Party candidate, and Reform Party hopeful Anna Jewel Revies.

Palazzo said Taylor “talks conservative” without actually having the voting record to back it up.
