Ross Opens Meridian HQ

WTOK - Ross Opens Campaign Headquarters - Former Mississippi state senator, Charlie Ross, opened his campaign headquarters in Meridian Tuesday. It's located at 2118 Front Street, near Jean's Restaurant. Ross says it's important that he have a major presence in Meridian during the run-up to the runoff. "This is a statement to the people of east Mississippi of how important I view Meridian and Lauderdale County and all of east Mississippi," said Ross. "I want to also say I'll have an office here in Meridian if I'm fortunate enough to be elected congressman." Ross' competitor in that race, Gregg Harper, also has a campaign headquarters in Meridian at the corner of 8th Street and 22nd Avenue, which he opened several weeks ago. The primary is Apr. 1.

It is good to see that Mr. Ross has finally realized the importance of Meridian and Lauderdale County by placing a HQ office on the 19th of March. It must not have been important enough up to this point in time. Mr. Harper, on the other hand, saw the importance of Meridian and area early on - months ago - by placing an HQ office downtown. He has often spoken of the importance of Meridian in the states' economy. I would rather vote for a man I can trust and has fore sight as to one who enjoys dirty politics and utilizes hindsight for decisions.
