McGlowan Headlines Starkville Tea Party
Angela McGlowan, who has spoken about her interest in running for Congress from the First District, was the keynote speaker at the Saturday Tea Party rally held at the Starkville Sportsplex. More than 400 people were in attendance.
McGlowan was joined on stage by Dr. Phillip Ley, a Jackson surgical oncologist and Grant Sowell, the head of the Tupelo Tea Party movement. Rep. Gregg Harper, whose district includes Starkville, made an unexpected appearance and spoke briefly as well.
The speakers focused on a variety of topics including healthcare reform, the size of government, the Blue Dogs, and activism, among other things.
The Commercial Dispatch covered the event extensively, including comments from a couple of people who were there to let the organizers know they don’t agree with them- or what they are doing.
Also of note: McGlowan is interested in running against Travis Childers in MS-01. While there may have been a number of people from the First District in attendance, and the Commercial Dispatch is based out of Columbus, the event did take place in MS-03.
This is not the first time that McGlowan has ventured outside of the First District to give a speech.
I’ve heard Angela on talk radio and if she is honest in what she says she stands for, I would like to be the first to donate my time in her campaign. We need more people with principals and less politicians.
You go girl.
