WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) today issued the following statement regarding the state flag of Mississippi:
“As a proud citizen of Mississippi, it is my personal hope that the state government will consider changing the state flag. The recent debate on the symbolism of our flag, which belongs to all of us, presents the people of our state an opportunity to consider a new banner that represents Mississippi.
I appreciate the views of my friend and colleague Roger Wicker, and agree that we should look for unity and not divisiveness in the symbols of our state.”
