Greg Davis dodges signing “No New Trade Deals” Pledge
Davis would support trade deals that cost Mississippi thousands of jobs
BOONEVILLE (Wednesday, April 30, 2008) – As Republican Greg Davis continues to dodge the question whether he will be a rubber stamp for unfair trade deals like NAFTA and CAFTA, Travis Childers called on Davis to pledge not to support any new trade deals that send Mississippi jobs overseas. Childers, the Democratic candidate for Mississippi's 1st Congressional District, meets Davis in a May 13 runoff.
Today, the Childers campaign sent the “No New Trade Deals” Pledge that Childers signed to Greg Davis' campaign office, asking once again for Davis to stop dodging the issue and say where he stands on unfair trade deals.
Childers also released a new television advertisement today, focusing on the difference between his record of balancing budgets and creating jobs compared to Davis' record of raising taxes and buying a taxpayer-funded car.
“Instead of letting the voters of North Mississippi know where he stands on issues like protecting our jobs, Greg Davis continues to dodge important questions and hide from his tax-raising record,” said Terry R. Cassreino, Childers' campaign press secretary. “Travis Childers has stood up and proudly said he will protect Mississippi jobs, while Davis only continues his blatant dodging and hypocritical attacks.”
