Candidates making final pitches to voters
Brandon attorney Jeremy McNinch says he hasn’t decided whether Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker or his Democratic challenger, Ronnie Musgrove, will get his vote.
McNinch says he wants to hear what the candidates have to say about the nation’s current financial crisis.
“The biggest issue on voter’s minds and mine’s is the economy, and what we’re going to do to get out of the problem that we’re in,” McNinch said, adding that’s he’s also “concerned about our future in terms of defense and defending the nation against terrorism.”
McNinch’s comments came last week before Wicker and Musgrove both spoke to a gathering of business leaders in Jackson. The candidates have waged a bitter battle for the seat formerly held by Republican Trent Lott. They’re trying to win the remaining four years of Lott’s term.
With McNinch in the crowd, Wicker said that if Musgrove is elected, he’ll “line up with the leadership in Washington who has consistently voted to cut defense budgets and make our nation weaker.”
