Gov. HALEY BARBOUR to keynote OK State GOP Convention.


It has been confirmed that Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour will key note the Friday night dinner April 17 prior to the Oklahoma State Republican Convention on April 18.

In two historic, successful campaigns for Governor, Yazoo City native Haley Reeves Barbour offered a new path for Mississippi in job creation, education, health care, energy, safer communities and stronger families. His message resonated with voters: His election in 2003 marked the largest voter turnout in Mississippi gubernatorial history, and he was reelected in 2007 with 58.2 percent of the vote. He is only the second governor since Reconstruction to be elected to a second consecutive term as Mississippi's chief executive.

Prior to being elected Governor, Barbour worked as a lawyer and lobbyist, and also served as Chairman of the Republican National Committee from 1993 to 1997, during which the Republicans captured both the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives for the first time since 1954.


This years State Convention will be held at the Clarion in Oklahoma City.
