Mike Lott Campaigns To Change Mississippi For The Better

July 8, 2004

WLOX

Mississippi Congressman Gene Taylor is looking to secure another term this November, but Republican Mike Lott is hoping to unseat the long-standing South Mississippi congressman.

Lott is a former teacher, owns a janitorial company, and serves as a church deacon in Petal. He hopes his next move will be to serve the people of South Mississippi in the United States Congress.

Mike Lott was hoping to reel in a few votes at this year's Mississippi Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo.

The rodeo is one of a few stops along his campaign bus tour of South Mississippi, and it was a stop he hopes will help to grant his wish of becoming the Fourth Congressional District congressman.

"I want to represent the people of South Mississippi in a way that they deserve to be represented. South Mississippi is gonna vote for George W. Bush for president and we need a congressman who is gonna support the president and not talk against our president," said Lott.

Lott, along with his wife Ellie and a host of other supporters, were out pounding the pavement in the summer heat to let potential voters know about what he believes is important.

"Our campaign's about the conservative values that are important people of South Mississippi- faith, family, and freedom. Those are the values that are country was founded on and that we need to get out folks back to point it in the right direction in Washington, D.C.," said Lott.

Lott believes tax cuts, affordable healthcare and insurance, and job creations are just a few things that will help to secure Mississippi's future.

And he has confidence that he is the person for the job.

"This district in the year 2000 put President George W. Bush into office by a larger margin than any district in the United States except one, and that's gonna happen again this year. So if you're gonna vote for George W. Bush, you only have one choice for your United States congress and that's Mike Lott," said Lott.

Lott will join Reform Party candidate Tracella Lou O'Hara Hill of Hattiesburg in the race for Congressman Gene Taylor's seat in the Nov. 2 general election.

I wish Lott well and hope Haley puts the
squeeze on the RNC to get Lott some money.

But, in our district, we must elect Clinton LeSeuer.

I don't think there is any connection.
If it is Mike doesn't claim it. :>)

[WKB]

You are so VERRY right.
We need to do all we can to get CBL elected.

[dixiechick2000]

That would be interesting to know.
There must be Lotts everywhere.
I know one of the clan in OR.
He's Trent's first cousin.
Small world...

To put this in wardaddy's vernacular...
this is, almost, a drive-by post. ;o)

[dixiechick2000]

"If it is Mike doesn't claim it. :>)"


LOL! Can you blame him? ;o)

It's good to see you in 'real' time.

[WKB]

Where have you been hiding?

"But, in our district, we must elect Clinton LeSeuer."
"We need to do all we can to get CBL elected."


AMEN!

And, in real time for you, WKB. ;o)

[dixiechick2000]

I haven't been hiding.

I've been 'otherwise occupied'. ;o)

[WKB]

I've been 'otherwise occupied'. ;o)



I'll pass on that one. :>)

[dixiechick2000]

I've been babysitting, silly. ;o)

I have to go to bed, now.
I hope to see you very soon.
Take care!

Is Mike Lott is more conservative than Gene Taylor? My sister and b-i-l, and my b-i-l (husband's brother) are all Gene Taylor supporters, even though they are all staunch Republicans. They've voted for him over the Republican in several races because the Republican always seemed squishy.

If Lott can convince folks he'll do as well as Gene, he may just have a chance.

I'm sending LeSeuer some money and,
I am going to put a double sign in my
yard since my house sits on a corner
lot where his signs will be easily seen.

taylor's ACU rating doesn't completely stink;

[RKB-AFG]

True - but Mike Lott has a 100% rating from a conservative group rating the votes of state legislature. He was one of only about a half-dozen to get a 100% in the state House.

[Reagan79]

Lott has no chance at all. Taylor wins reelection with 70% of the vote and probably gets more Republican votes than many Republicans. He is a liberal on tax and budget issues. Taylor has the Republicans consistently thinking he votes with Republicans. If Dennis Dollar couldn't put a dent in Taylor nobody can.
