Childers campaigns despite not hearing from opponent for debate
A question along the campaign trail has been about Childers’ party association, which is Democrat, although he refers to himself as a “blue dog” Democrat. He is quick to remind voters, however, that party lines do not carry a strong weight with him when it comes to an important vote.
“When I was in Congress, I worked with both parties,” he said of his time as a United States Representative. “I worked with whoever had a good idea, and I didn’t mind if someone else got the credit. I’m not up there for the credit. I’m up there to help the state of Mississippi.”
