Robert Foster talks run for governor early in political career

Representative Robert Foster sits down to talk about his gubernatorial run in this years race. “I felt like what we really need in our state leadership is somebody with business experience that has on the ground experience in building a business, which I’ve done through the recession for the last 12 years and understands what the role of government should be in creating an environment for business.” With Foster being so new to politics, only having served in the House of Representatives since 2016, many were surprised he decided to go for governor so early in his career. He says that he gets the question “why so soon?” very often. Foster believes most politicians would agree with him, that everyone gets corrupted by power at some point and to some extent. He admitted that even in his short time as a Representative, he has experienced the pressures himself. Foster said he worried if he waited to make a move for a more impactful role in Mississippi’s future, like Governor, he too would be effected by the environment of politics. “I knew that if I waited and climbed the typical ladder one rung at a time over a 16 or 20 year period like most people do when they go for Governor in the state of Mississippi, that I would not have the same passions, convictions, or abilities to do what I know needs to be done to help our state, because I would have lost a lot of that autonomy.” said Foster. Foster believes education is more than a four year degree, and in many cases the most educated and qualified, not to mention in demand, workforce don’t have that degree. “That’s the number one issue that I want to address as governor, not making people feel like you’re a failure if you don’t get a college degree,” said Foster. Foster hopes to continue to recruit industry and improve education by encouraging skilled labor and not just the achievement of a college degree.
