There is no greater calling for the state of Mississippi than providing a quality education to every student. It is the key to our state's future. Improving Mississippi's schools will help prepare our next generation to meet the challenges of the global economy. That is why Ronnie Musgrove has dedicated so much of his career to making college affordable, providing quality early childhood education and improving our schools.

Ronnie Musgrove has the experience and demonstrated leadership to help improve education in Mississippi. While in the State Senate, Musgrove chaired the Education Committee. He served as chair of the Southern Regional Education Board and on the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. As Governor, Musgrove passed historic education funding reforms to ensure every school got its fair share. His administration enacted the largest teacher raise in state history, strengthened school accountability standards, and made Mississippi the first state in the nation to have a computer hooked up to the Internet in every classroom.

But we have a long way to go. We need a Senator who will take on the broken system in Washington and fight for better education the Mississippi way.
