WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) today issued the following statement:

“Our nation and the State of Mississippi continue to face many challenges and opportunities.

“We must work to defend our national security interests, roll back burdensome policies like Obamacare, continue the fight to reduce our national debt and create opportunities for more jobs and economic growth.

“I will run for reelection to the United States Senate. I will run hard and be successful so that I can continue to serve the people of Mississippi and our nation effectively.”
