Congressman Travis W. Childers Announces Locations of District Offices

From a press release:

Congressman Travis W. Childers announced today that he plans to maintain four district offices in Mississippi's First Congressional District in DeSoto, Grenada, Lee, and Lowndes counties.

The Congressman announced that he plans to continue operations at offices in Columbus, Grenada, and Tupelo that were maintained by the Clerk of the House while the congressional seat lay vacant until Childers was elected in the May 13th special election. The DeSoto County office has been moved from Southaven to a facility on the Courthouse Square in Hernando.

"We are ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work for the people of North Mississippi," Congressman Childers said. "Since we were sworn in right in the middle of a session, we had to hit the ground running in Washington. There were some administrative processes that we had to work out for the district offices, such as negotiating new leases and transferring computer and phone services, which took a couple of weeks to finalize, but we managed to get the Tupelo and Columbus offices nailed down in a matter of days. We are getting the other offices up and running this week, and now, less than one month after being sworn in, we have office space and a good start on staff. We are focused on serving the people of North Mississippi."

The address and phone numbers for the district offices are:

Columbus: 523 Main Street, 662-327-0748;
Grenada: 1360 Sunset Drive, Suite 2, 662-294-1321;
Hernando: 2564 Hwy. 51 South on the Hernando Courthouse Square, (telephone number will be announced at a later date); and,
Tupelo: 6 Fairpark Crossing in Downtown Tupelo, 662-844-5437.

Constituents needing help with federal issues or services may also call the Congressman's Washington, DC office in 2350 Rayburn House Office Building at 202-225-4306 until the district offices are fully functional.

More Local Officials Endorse Travis Childers For District One

Reinforces Childers' overwhelming support among local officials

'We know Travis as an honest, hardworking man . . .'

From a press release:

Travis Childers received another endorsement from local officials on Tuesday in his bid to fill the vacant First Congressional District seat in Mississippi. The members and officers in District Four of the Mississippi Coroners Association announced Tuesday that they are endorsing Childers in next Tuesday's special election for Congress.

"Travis Childers has worked for many years in support of our efforts as an association, both on a local level and statewide" said James Horn, past state president of the association. "We in our district know Travis as an honest, hard working man who has served the people of our area well and will work to serve all the people of the 1st Congressional District with honor and distinction."

District 4 of the Mississippi Coroners Association includes Alcorn, Benton, Itawamba, Lee, Prentiss, Pontotoc, Tishomingo, Tippah and Union counties officially endorse Travis Childers for Congress.

"I am honored to have the endorsement of this influential group of local elected officials," Childers said in response. "I have always tried to cooperate with other elected officials, both in Prentiss County and across this region. North Mississippi has accomplished so much by working together. I think we need a Congressman who will take that same spirit of cooperation to Washington."

Childers, who has been the Chancery Clerk in Prentiss County for more than sixteen years, has strong support among local elected officials across the district. He has received dozens of endorsements from current and former elected officials, including former governors, chancery clerks, local supervisors, and coroners.

This follows his endorsement by 10 Chancery Clerks earlier this year.
