Jackson, MS – September 10, 2024 – The Mississippi Republican Party is proud to announce
its endorsement of Ron Eller as the Republican nominee for Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District.
As we prepare for the upcoming election, our focus is clear: defeating Congre ssman Bennie
Thompson and securing a brighter future for our state and nation.

Ron Eller is a steadfast advocate for Mississippi’s values and has a proven track record of
leadership and commitment. His vision for the district is rooted in strengthening our communities,
promoting economic growth, and ensuring our voice is heard in Washington.

To secure a brighter future for the district, it is crucial that we address the failures and
misguided policies of Bennie Thompson. His record reflects a series of actions that have undermined
our way of life all while pursuing a partisan agenda at the expense of our state’s interests.
Why We Must Defeat Bennie Thompson:

  1. A Dangerous Agenda Against Our National Security: Bennie Thompson, as the ranking
    member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, introduced H.R. 8081, a resolution aimed at
    stripping President Trump of his Secret Service protection. This reckless move undermines the
    security of our nation’s leaders and disregards the safety of the American people.
  2. Personal Vendetta Against President Trump: Thompson’s leadership has been marked
    by a personal vendetta against President Trump. His actions have not been in the interest of national
    security or public safety but instead driven by partisan politics and personal grievances.
  3. Failure in Border Security: During Thompson’s tenure as chairman of the Homeland
    Security Committee, we witnessed the most significant invasion of illegal aliens in the history of our
    Nation. His leadership, or lack thereof, failed to protect our borders and enforce our immigration laws,
    resulting in a significant strain on our communities and resources.
  4. Undermining of Local Agriculture: Thompson’s actions in killing the Yazoo Backwater
    Pumps, in conjunction with the Biden Administration, have cost Mississippi farmers millions. This
    decision has devastated our agricultural sector, the backbone of our rural economy.

In light of these failures, the Mississippi Republican Party is mobilizing for change. To lead
this charge, we are excited to announce the creation of the “Make the Delta Great Again” Task
Force. Chairwoman Sue Morrison will spearhead this initiative in conjunction with the Eller
Campaign, working tirelessly to restore prosperity, security, and opportunity to the region.

As we move forward, we call on all Mississippians to unite to reclaim the district and nation.
The upcoming election is not just about choosing a representative but about rejecting a record of
failure and dishonesty. Let’s unite as Americans, uphold our values, and ensure our voices are heard.
Ron Eller represents a fresh, hopeful future for Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District. Let’s
make our stand and make the Delta Great Again.
