Taylor Launches Comeback as a Republican

Former Rep. Gene Taylor (D-MS) told the Biloxi Sun Herald that it was “the dysfunction of Washington that drove him to seek a return to the job he held for two decades. This time, though, he’ll be running as a Republican.”

Said Taylor: “Like everybody else in South Mississippi, I look 1,100 miles up toward Washington and wonder what in the heck are these guys doing? None of them are cooperating. We have serious needs. They have voted to make our flood insurance more expensive, they have voted to cut the military. They furloughed federal employees while they continued to get paid. This is a democratic republic, it’s all about majorities, it’s all about working together to find common goals.”
