The work of an elected official is not unlike that

of a fine artisan. Both employ specialized skills

and knowledge in problem-solving.

Essential to the success of their efforts, whether

legislative or artistic endeavors,

are innovation, functionality and appeal.

The Electric Power Associations of Mississippi

presents the 2012 Legislative Roster

as a tribute to Mississippi’s elected officials,

who serve for the benefit of all Mississippians.
