Candidates at MSU

The MSU Reflector - Hopefuls meet, greet students - SA hosts event for Congressional candidates - Gill said he does not believe in a fast track to citizenship for illegal immigrants but does believe in the privatization of Social Security.

Eads, on the other hand, said he does not support the privatization of Social Security. He said he wants to bring a swift end to the war in Iraq and increase efforts to secure the border. "The average citizen can no longer afford rising gas prices and continue to make ends meet," he said. "Oil companies are making record profits, and the record price of gas is causing a hardship on the American economy."

Landrum said he supports securing U.S. borders, protecting Mississippi values and providing families and small businesses alike with tax relief.

Marcy said he believes in national defense, does not support abortion and feels that illegal immigration must be stopped.

Ross said he is anti-illegal immigration, pro-business, believes in a strong national defense and does not support abortion. "I have a 100 percent voting record in the state legislature on pro-life issues," he said. "If you want to know what kind of congressman I'm going to be, you don't have to listen to what I say. Look at what I've done because I'm not going to change."

If elected, Rounsaville plans on increasing the amount of high-skill jobs in Mississippi and focusing on economic development. "I want to make sure that we have opportunity for jobs," he said. "If you leave the university with a good degree and grades you ought to have the opportunity to stay in Mississippi."
