Meet\u00a0John Corley<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nI’m John Glen Corley, and I’m a lifelong conservative running for state representative of House District 106.\u00a0I plan to be an advocate for small businesses and encourage new industry development while maintaining\u00a0our current industries and reducing taxes. I also want to push for higher education standards by utilizing my\u00a016 years of experience in college and high school teaching. I believe our Second Amendment right should\u00a0not be infringed and our religious liberties should be protected.<\/p>\n
I attended Poplarville High and Pearl River Community College. Afterward, I pursued a master’s degree at\u00a0Mississippi State University. I spent years managing crews in landscapes for both colleges. I served as\u00a0General Manager and Vice President for a Mississippi\u00adbased company, American Tung Oil Corporation, for\u00a010 years growing, harvesting and refining the vegetable oil for industrial uses.<\/p>\n
As an instructor at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College for 15 years teaching plant and soil sciences\u00a0and a teacher at Forest County Agricultural High School for one year, I enjoyed being able to educate\u00a0others who chose a career in the Green Industry. Helping students succeed was the highlight of my\u00a0teaching career.<\/p>\n
Recognizing that farming and teaching was too demanding for both, I chose to continue in the farming\u00a0industry. I learned valuable work ethic and problem\u00adsolving skills from long days working in my cow\u00adcalf\u00a0operation and raising replacement heifers for the dairy and beef industries. I try to be a good steward of\u00a0what God has blessed us with: topsoil and water.<\/p>\n
I’m running for office because we need to return to common\u00adsense governing. I want our district to prosper\u00a0and our children to receive the best education possible, and I look forward to utilizing my decades of\u00a0experience teaching and working in various industries to accomplish this. Having traveled to South America, I’ve seen first\u00adhand how our country is the most efficient producer and mover of goods around the world.\u00a0Mississippi Agriculture is doing a great job at feeding the world and we need to safeguard Agriculture from\u00a0the EPA and other regulatory agencies that place unnecessary burdens on farm families.<\/p>\n
However, this is my first time in politics and a lot of prayer and support from my wife, Elizabeth, and two\u00a0children, Claire and John\u00adTaylor, have led to this decision. I do not believe I have all the answers, but by\u00a0having these discussions and listening to the people in our community, I’m confident we can maintain a\u00a0government that is of the people and for the people.<\/p>\n
All people have a part to play as we travel through this life journey. I look forward to meeting you and\u00a0earning your vote before Election Day on November 8th.<\/p>\n
