NATCHEZ — On Friday Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate Ronnie Musgrove was in Natchez shaking hands and drumming up support for his run at the senate.

And Friday’s stop in Natchez was only one in a line of many for Musgrove.

His press assistant said Musgrove made stops in McComb, Magnolia, Liberty, Fayette and Vicksburg before heading back to Jackson.

While in Natchez Musgrove visited with county officials at the Adams County Courthouse before heading to city hall.

“People don’t believe Washington is working,” he said. “We have to stop excessive out of control spending.”

Musgrove also said if elected he’ll work on an energy plan that would rapidly bring down the price of gas, end dependency on foreign oil, drill on local coasts and develop alternative fuel sources like wind and natural gas.

In November Musgrove will face Republican Sen. Roger Wicker in the race for the senate.
