CLARION LEDGER – How Sela Ward’s husband became a U.S. Senate candidate
Sherman, who has spent much of his career mentoring entrepreneurs, spoke to business students at Mississippi State University in March.
Sherman, who has spent much of his career mentoring entrepreneurs, spoke to business students at Mississippi State University in March.A fan of free-market ideology, Sherman said his priorities are health care, education and jobs, in which he plans to make improvements through public-private partnerships.
