Gill at Obama Fest

Greg Snowden's blog - Hats Off To Joel Gill - Subscribers to The Meridian Star opened their Sunday paper to a front-page "above the fold" article about "Obama Fest 2008," a political rally staged over the weekend in downtown Meridian by the Lauderdale County Democratic Party. Featured in the accompanying photograph is Congressional candidate Joel Gill, microphone in hand, lustily exhorting the party faithful to elect Democrats in November. Why is this noteworthy? The truth is, it’s a rarity these days when any Mississippi congressional candidate not named Bennie Thompson actually admits to even being a Democrat. Joel Gill, however, is made of sterner stuff. You may disagree with his politics, as I certainly do, but you must salute Gill’s willingness to at least admit what he is. His honest approach to party affiliation will allow Third Congressional District voters a clear choice between his candidacy and that of his conservative Republican opponent, Gregg Harper.

Harper visits Ridgeland board

Madison County Journal - Harper visits board - Gregg Harper, the Republican nominee Mississippi's Third Congressional District, met briefly with the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and other city officials before Tuesday's regular meeting. When introduced at the beginning of the meeting by McGee, Harper thanked the board for letting him come for a visit and expressed his hope to work closely with the city if he is elected in November. "I hope to always be accessable to the city and work closely with city officials," Harper said. "Now I'm going to go spend some money in Ridgeland and buy my wife some dinner." Harper will face Democratic nominee Joel Gill in the Nov. 4 general election to fill the seat left vacant when former U.S. Rep. Charles W. "Chip" Pickering resigned earlier this year.
