Official Campaign Launch Announcement

Bruce Bartley for House District 58

Dear family, friends, and fellow Madison County residents,

After much prayer and careful consideration, I am excited to announce my candidacy as
representative for House District 58. As someone who lives in and loves Madison County, I
believe our community deserves a strong and ethical Representative who will look out for and
speak up for all of the citizens in this district. I have always wanted to serve, and I can think of
no greater opportunity than that of being a public servant. The office of Representative affects
the lives of so many citizens. Dedicated leadership is deserved by everyone, not just a select
few. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you all for your
encouragement thus far and I ask for your continued prayer and support during the coming
campaign.
Best Regards,
Bruce Bartley

As a grocery store owner in Mississippi, I believe in pro-business legislation such as

promoting tax incentives with independent feasibility study support and keeping
Mississippi a right to work state.
There are many healthcare issues in our state that need addressing; I support
legislation that encourages competition in healthcare for the purpose of controlling
and keeping costs low.
Being a sponsored competition shooter, the 2nd Amendment is something I hold
dear and will vehemently defend our rights as gun owners in the Mississippi
Legislature.
Public education is a critical part of childrens development and I will work to ensure
the use of evidence-based practice in determining proper teaching methods in our
schools.
