Coroners Endorse Childers for Congress

Travis Childers received another endorsement from local officials on Tuesday in his bid to fill the vacant First Congressional District seat in Mississippi. The members and officers in District Four of the Mississippi Coroners Association announced Tuesday that they are endorsing Childers in next Tuesday’s special election for Congress.

“Travis Childers has worked for many years in support of our efforts as an association, both on a local level and statewide” said James Horn, past state president of the association. “We in our district know Travis as an honest, hard working man who has served the people of our area well and will work to serve all the people of the 1st Congressional District with honor and distinction.”

District 4 of the Mississippi Coroners Association includes Alcorn, Benton, Itawamba, Lee, Prentiss, Pontotoc, Tishomingo, Tippah and Union counties officially endorse Travis Childers for Congress.

“I am honored to have the endorsement of this influential group of local elected officials,” Childers said in response. “I have always tried to cooperate with other elected officials, both in Prentiss County and across this region. North Mississippi has accomplished so much by working together. I think we need a Congressman who will take that same spirit of cooperation to Washington.”

Childers, who has been the Chancery Clerk in Prentiss County for more than sixteen years, has strong support among local elected officials across the district. He has received dozens of endorsements from current and former elected officials, including former governors, chancery clerks, local supervisors, and coroners.

The Childers campaign expects more endorsements to be released later this week.
