- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tupelo, Miss. -- Wicker for Senate spokesman Brad Ferguson made the following statement today following Ronnie Musgrove's annoucement to challenge Senator Wicker in the November election, during which Musgrove sharply criticized Senator Wicker"
"It is disappointing that Ronnie Musgrove waited until only his sixth or seventh breath to get down in the mud and start negative campaigning by criticizing Senator Wicker. This may be a new record for Mississippi campaigns. The people of Mississippi are tired of politicians like Mr. Musgrove and their negative attacks, and I don't think they are going to stand for his brand of politics. They said so once, and they will say so again."
"But if he wants to make this campaign about the success and achievements of Senator Wicker in responding to the needs of Mississippians by delivering for them in Washington, I say that's a campaign we welcome."
