HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. (March 6, 2018) — “They just don’t make Senators like Thad Cochran anymore. Often a calm voice of reason during the legislative process, Senator Cochran regularly voted to build on America’s long, bipartisan history of conservation in his time on the appropriations committee,” said Jill Mastrototaro, ̽����ѡ Mississippi’s policy director. 

“̽����ѡ wishes Senator Cochran well in his retirement, during which he’ll always be welcome at our Pascagoula River and Strawberry Plains ̽����ѡ Centers. We look forward to an equally productive working relationship with his successor to help us protect the birds and wildlife of Mississippi and the Gulf Coast,” said Sheryl Bowen, ̽����ѡ Mississippi’s board chair.
