"having a seat at the table"
All Mississippians should have a seat at the table when it comes to recreation, attractions, policies, regulations, and any agricultural-related provisions. It's imperative that having a voice around the table can change the prediction of the outcome. We need a Commissioner of Agriculture that have the heart, humility, compassion, understanding, and vision to change traditions into additions. A true and unparalleled leader that has devoted his life to serving, protecting, and helping all in need. If having a seat at the table is important to you, help us in electing Brad in the upcoming general election on November 7th. May God bless you and all your endeavors, thanks from the Committee to elect Robert "Brad" Bradford Sr.
