David Baria (D)
It has been a great honor to represent the citizens of Hancock County for the last 8 years in the Mississippi legislature. Like you, family and community matter to me. That’s why I want to continue to represent you in Jackson.
Hancock County has made great strides since I was first elected in 2007, but there is much more to be done. The issues that first compelled me to seek office-- insurance reform, full funding of education and government accountability-- remain in need of attention in Jackson. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to stand apart from the crowd in Jackson and fight to end the “Good ole Boy” system of political patronage. I am also dedicated to the issues of economic development and job creation in Hancock County and the rest of the state.
Thank you for your support.
