Governor Haley Barbour

Governor Haley Barbour has had an historic career in government and politics. He served two terms as Governor of Mississippi, chaired the Republican National Committee and the Republican Governors Association, and worked in President Ronald Reagans White House. Governor Barbour began his political career in 1968, dropping out of college to work on Richard Nixons presidential campaign; in 1976, he ran Gerald Fords fall campaign in the Southeast. In 1982, he ran for U.S. Senate in Mississippi but ultimately lost to incumbent John C. Stennis. Governor Barbour later served as Political Director of the Reagan White House and worked on the George H.W. Bush campaign. From 1993 to 1997, Governor Barbour served as Chairman of the Republican National Committee, managing the 1994 Republican surge to gain control of both Houses of Congress for the first time in 40 years. In 2003, he was elected Governor of Mississippi, assuming office in January 2004. During his tenure as governor, Barbour led his state to adopt what the Wall Street Journal called the most comprehensive tort reform in the country. His team generated numerous large economic projects in the energy, aerospace and automotive fields. When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005, Governor Barbour received national recognition for his swift response to one of the worst natural disasters in American history. For his efforts to rebuild the Mississippi Gulf Coast, he received the Thomas Jefferson Freedom Award. Other awards during his tenure as Governor include being named Governor of the Year by Governing Magazine, receiving the Gulf Guardian Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in recognition of his work to rebuild Gulf Coast ecosystems, and receiving the Adam Smith Award from BIPAC to honor his pursuit of the principles of free enterprise. A native of Yazoo City, Mississippi, Governor Barbour attended the University of Mississippi, where he received his JD in 1973. Governor Barbour resides in Yazoo City with his wife Marsha. They have two sons and five grandchildren.
