Democratic gubernatorial candidate makes stop in Pine Belt
HATTIESBURG, MS (WDAM) – Madison attorney and Democratic candidate for Mississippi governor Vicki Slater campaigned in the Pine Belt Monday, telling folks that incumbent Governor Phil Bryant’s failure of the state was part of her motivation for getting in the race.
Slater said the number of uninsured people rose since Bryant was elected in 2011, and while jobs had been added, those numbers did not increase due to job losses.
“If people want a different result, they need to vote for a different candidate,” she said. “If we keep voting for the same person over and over again, nothing is going to change.”…
…She also made her support known for the full funding of public education in the state through the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, including Initiative 42, which requires the legislature to adequately fund the program or get sued.
