  • Other conservative leaders from across the state

WHEN: Wednesday March 14, 1 p.m. CT

WHERE: Mississippi State Capitol, second floor rotunda

WHY: Local activists want to show the Governor there is a strong grassroots demand for a true conservative to represent Mississippi in the U.S. Senate. State Senator Chris McDaniel has a proven record of advancing limited-government values and would be a leader in the fight to drain the swamp.
