Governor Haley Barbour

Welcome to the official website of the Governor’s office. As I said during my Inaugural Address, the people of Mississippi can bestow no greater honor on one of its sons or daughters than to elect him Governor. I'm deeply honored to serve as Governor, and I'm also humbled by the enormous trust that has been placed in me by the people of our state. I'll do my utmost to be deserving of that trust.

I firmly believe that solving today's problems provides a springboard for seizing tomorrow's opportunities. That’s what my administration is all about—solving problems so Mississippi can raise its expectations to reach its full potential.
