DCRC Hosts State Representatives in June

At its upcoming regular monthly meeting, the DCRC will host Mississippi State Represenatives, Wanda Jennings and Forrest Hamilton. Wanda Jennings represents DeSoto County District 7 and Forrest Hamilton represents DeSoto County District 6. The two will talk about their work during the recent legislative session and how DeSoto County is affected.

To say these two work hard for DeSoto County in the Mississippi legislature - for its businesses, for its schools and for its citizens - is a tremendous understatement. Come and hear about how they fight for DeSoto County, and meet them personally.

McGlowan Raises Eyebrows Again on Gallo Show

On February 25, Angela McGlowan spoke to Paul Gallo on his morning radio program. Among other issues, McGlowan answered questions about her controversial gun control comments made on her last program appearance. She also spoke briefly of her opponents, declaring that she would support Henry Ross should he win the June 1st primary. McGlowan denounced fellow Republican Alan Nunnelee; however, stating that she would not support him should he win the primary.

To date, Angela McGlowan continues to impress District 1 voters while alarming others with her comments and ideology. She will appear on the District 1 congressional Republican primary ballot along with Ross and Nunnelee; the winner will face incumbant, Travis Childers, in the November general election.

McGlowan Returns to Paul Gallo Show

Angela McGlowan, Republican candidate for congress, is scheduled to appear on the Paul Gallo Show this Thursday, February 25th. Paul Gallo hosts a radio program on Supertalk Mississippi which broadcasts in Hattiesburg, Tupelo, Oxford, Jackson, Brookhaven and other locales across the state.

McGlowan was a guest on Gallo's show in August 2009, and her position on gun control (specifically the requirement to report all guns in one's possession on income tax forms) brought about quite a reaction from conservative listeners. A recording of this program is available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNg6jh9oyqg.

At her campaign kick-off event in Hernando recently, an attendee questioned her stance on guns in light of these comments. McGlowan responded saying she "misspoke" and at the time was not an elected official but instead a political analyst who simply played the devil's advocate "for ratings". She did; however, cite that she had been violently attacked in a mugging incident and believed that people should be able to carry a concealed weapon for the purpose of protection.

And at a campaign kick-off event in Tupelo, McGlowan offered a response to critics of her comments on the Gallo show. A video of this reponse can also be viewed on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF-fhzS8X5k.

For more information on how to listen live to the Paul Gallo show this Thursday, visit the SuperTalk Mississippi radio website at http://www.supertalk.fm/. Listeners can tune in to the program on the website or via a number of radio stations depending on locality. A list of stations is posted on the site.

Campaign Funds for District 1 Race No Secret

Much attention has been paid (no pun intended) to funds in the campaign coffers of District 1 congressional candidate, Alan Nunnelee, and incumbent, Travis Childers. It has been reported that Nunnelee has successfully raised a more significant amount through personal contributions than Childers in a very short time, yet Childers claims to still maintain more cash on hand.
