Although Robert Gray, candidate and potentially the winner of the Democratic gubernatorial primary in Mississippi, is something of an enigma, he did speak to the Associated Press prior to the election.
Excerpts here, from an AP story by Emily Wagner-Pettus on August 1, 2015.
The other Democrat, Robert Gray, is a long-haul truck driver from Jackson who reports spending no money on his campaign.
Gray, who regularly drives freight across the country, acknowledges that winning the governorship is a longshot, but said he'd park his rig and devote full time to leading the state if he's elected.
"Funding education is good for business, good for the state of Mississippi," Gray told The Associated Press in an interview. "That's an easy way to get money circulating around the state."
