Ledger Blogs: Harper, Eads

ClarionLedger.com - Sid Salter Blog - Gregg Harper's ground game is already hard at work - Rankin County attorney Gregg Harper, the Republican 3rd District congressional candidate who has been outspect by David Landrum and Charlie Ross is gaining ground in the waning days of the election. His ground game — a concentrated, organized GOTV effort that Harper has successfully utilized to help other Republicans do well in Rankin County in the past has now been deployed on his behalf. If there is a dark horse on the GOP side of this race, it is Harper. Landruma nd Ross have the clear money lead — outspending Harper by three and two times respectively. But Harper has people networking mightily on his behalf. In a primary, that could be significant.

ClarionLedger.com - Student Blog - Eads....Leads!!! - The third congressional district race will prove to be an exciting contest in the fall; however, if Mississippians want a true Democrat on the ticket (as compared to two Republicans)...there is only one choice: Randy Eads. Eads, unlike his opponent, is a Mississippi native and is well aware of the issues that are impotant to the people of the third district. Randy is a major supporter of all levels of education from early childhood to post graduate college studies. His solutions for our failing system include ending the No Child Left Behind mandate and focusing on recruiting and retaining the best Mississippi teachers available while funneling our investments in high growth sectors of the state. Randy Eads knows the economy. He received a bachelors degree at the University of Tennessee studying the system. Eads supports returning to a system of fiscal responsibility and taking the steps needed to balance the budget. But, if your not voting on the issues and your in favor of change and experiance...Eads would provide both. Eads has triple the education of his rival, twice the experiance, and solutions to every problem faced by Mississippi voters. His opponent only highlights the problems and offers no promise to fellow Mississippians other than to step aside if the voters are not satisfied in two years. Personally, I do not think Mississippi can afford to grant a candidate two years to prove his worth...on Tuesday vote for the candidate that believes in Mississippi...vote for the candidate ready to lead Mississippi...vote Randy Eads for the Third Congressional District...it's common sense for common goals!!!
