Owner-operator Robert Gray loses Mississippi gubernatorial bid

Nov 4, 2015

Election returns from Mississippi yesterday, according to a wide variety of reports, show upstart gubernatorial candidate and Fancy Horse Transportation independent owner-operator Robert Gray losing soundly to incumbent Republican Phil Bryant.

“I did everything I could with what I had, and that’s the result,” Gray told WAPT news in Jackson. “The people had a choice and they made it, so that’s all we could do.”
