Rounsaville Campaign Email

Dear Friends,

This was an exciting week to be a Mississippian, as we saw the Inauguration of Governor Haley Barbour’s second term. Our state has come a long way over the past four years thanks to Governor Barbour’s strong and decisive leadership.

We have erased a $700 million budget deficit left by the Musgrove administration and rebuilt the rainy day fund, improved workforce training to attract jobs and passed meaningful tort reform. We also rebounded from the worst natural disaster in our nation’s history and got to work on rebuilding our Gulf Coast bigger and better than ever. It was an honor for me to serve the people of Mississippi as Governor Barbour’s Policy Advisor during his first term, and I am very proud of these accomplishments.

Following the Governor’s Inauguration, our campaign continued its fast paced schedule with events all over the district. On Wednesday, I was honored by the Mississippi Business Journal as one of our state’s “Top 40 under 40” leading business professionals. Later, I had the opportunity to stop by the Mississippi Association of Supervisors Winter Conference to visit. Over the past decade, I have worked with many of these supervisors on economic development, infrastructure improvements, and other projects that are important to their counties, so it was a great opportunity to see them again to talk about their communities.

We spent Thursday morning in Meridian where I spoke to the Lauderdale County Republican Women about our campaign and the issues that will face our next Congressman. We then campaigned our way through Southwest Mississippi and on to McComb for an opportunity to visit with the Republican executive committees of Amite, Pike, Walthall, and Lincoln counties.

The groups involved in these visits all stressed to me that the issues most important to them are immigration, economic development, and lowering the tax burden on hardworking Mississippians – all issues that I want to help address in Washington. On Friday, we were back to Meridian where we visited with more constituents and ended the day with a radio interview.

On Saturday, we traveled all over the district to meet with volunteers and deliver our yard signs. In just one day, we delivered more than 1,400 signs. If you would like a sign, please email us at info@johnrounsaville.com and we will deliver one to you.

We’ve had a great week on the campaign trail, and I continue to enjoy visiting with voters all over our district. Please stay in touch and let me know about events in your communities.

Thank you for your continued support.

Yours truly,

John
