TUPELO –Tupelo dentist and community leader Ed “Doc” Holliday announced his candidacy for Congressman of Mississippi’s First Congressional district yesterday at the Lee county courthouse in Tupelo.

“In Washington, I will represent North Mississippi’s values of sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms” Holliday said “I will also work to repeal and replace Obamacare, balance the budget and reduce our out-of-control debt and work to keep America safe and secure.” He said.
He has been a volunteer dentist for Lee County’s Good Samaritan Free Clinic since 1992, serving as the volunteer dental director for the free clinic for the past several years.
