RELEASE from the Cochran campaign:
JACKSON, MS – Senator Thad Cochran released the following statement:
“To the record number of Mississippians who turned out yesterday to vote, I sincerely thank you. I’ve always believed Mississippi is worth fighting for, and that’s what I will continue to do over these next three weeks in this runoff campaign. We had a great day yesterday and it is one more step toward making November Mississippi’s moment when we take back the U.S. Senate.”
Jordan Russell, spokesman for the Cochran campaign talked about yesterday’s election saying, “We took the best $5 million punch the Washington-based groups had to throw. These out-of-state groups are trying to buy a Mississippi Senate seat, but Mississippi is not for sale. Mississippians now have three more weeks to consider their choice: Do they want Senator Thad Cochran, a good man that always puts what is best for Mississippi first, or Chris McDaniel, a trial lawyer politician that is manipulated, bought and paid for by Washington-based groups. Thad Cochran can win in November and will put Mississippi in a national leadership role with a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate.”
