2019 MS Governor's race: on Environment


Robert Foster: Stand with farmers; fight EPA over-regulation

Robert will work with our President and Congress to push back against over-regulation from the EPA and stand with our farmers to protect their right to farm. We must maintain a safe and clean environment, but common sense must prevail if we are to compete in a global economy.

Jim Hood: BP spill continues to harm coast's environment and economy

General Hood said, "This tragedy continues to hurt Mississippians, and the culpable companies are answerable to pay their part and help recovery efforts. I'm glad that, as requested when we settled this case, most of the settlement money will be spent on Coast recovery. The Coast is both an environmentally precious part of our state and an economic driver in Mississippi that deserves our help in reaching its full potential."
