  MSGOP Welcomes Eric Cantor Back To Mississippi

  The Mississippi Republican Party Welcomes Eric Cantor Back To Mississippi

  JACKSON- Tomorrow, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor will be in Gulfport for a reception honoring Rep. Steven Palazzo. Cantor represents a Richmond, Virginia based district in the U.S. House and became Majority Leader after Republicans won control of that chamber in 2010.

  “I am grateful to have Majority Leader Cantor visit the Fourth District,” remarked Rep. Palazzo. “It’s been a privilege working with him in House leadership this year to consistently promote conservative, pro-growth legislation in the face of the failed, liberal policies of the Obama administration.”

  Joe Nosef, Chairman of the Mississippi Republican Party added, “It is always great to see leaders from Washington come to Mississippi, and it is a real honor to have the Majority Leader in Gulfport with Rep. Palazzo. Eric Cantor is a leading figure in D.C., and he is one of the best at articulating the conservative vision needed to move our country in the right direction.”

  House Passes Child Protection Act of 2012

  House Passes Child Protection Act of 2012

  JACKSON- Yesterday, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed legislation designed to protect children that may be victims of sexual abuse. The Mississippi Child Protection Act of 2012 passed by a 106-9 vote following a lengthy debate and several unsuccessful amendments from Democrats. The failed amendments were all defeated with a bi-partisan majority.

  The legislation requires mandatory reporting of alleged or suspected sexual abuse, along with a 48 hour timeline to come forward to the proper authorities with the information. Further, physicians who perform an abortion on a minor under 14 years old must preserve the fetal tissue for DNA analysis to help determine the identity of the father. Failure to comply with this new law will be punishable by jail time and/ or a fine.

  For The Record: House Committee Chairs

  For The Record: Comparing Speaker Gunn’s and Speaker McCoy’s Committee Chairs

  JACKSON- On January 20, Speaker Philip Gunn, the first Republican Speaker of the House since Reconstruction, released his choices for committee chairs along with committee assignments. All totaled, the Republican Speaker gave Democrats one-quarter of the committee chairs and more than half of the vice-chairs.

  Under Speaker Gunn’s new style of leadership, Democrats have received 10 committee chairs and 22 vice-chairs. This contrasts with Speaker McCoy who appointed zero Republicans to chair a committee and just 12 to serve as vice-chair.

  Speaker Gunn’s committee chair selections clearly show his commitment to conservative principles including a new spirit of fairness that is in sharp contrast to the previous Speaker’s committee chair selections. Despite this new spirit of cooperation and working together, and in an effort to garner media attention, some Democrats continue to ignore the facts and claim otherwise.
