CONGRESSMAN GREGG HARPER TAKES THE OATH OF OFFICE
WASHINGTON, DC – Mississippi’s Third Congressional District Representative Gregg Harper (R-MS) took the Oath of Office today on his first day as a member of the 111th Congress.
"Today, I signed a verbal contract to serve the interests and concerns of each individual in the Third Congressional District,” said Harper. “I am humbled and honored to serve the people of Mississippi, and I will work diligently to represent the conservative values of our state."
Congressman Harper’s congressional offices are fully-staffed and include offices open in Washington, D.C. as well as Mississippi offices located in Pearl, Meridian, Starkville and Brookhaven. While Congressman Harper will begin immediately working on legislative issues in Congress, he is equally focused on making constituent services a top priority.
“My staff is committed to having the best constituent services in the country,” Harper said. “I have a lot of confidence in my staff and I know they share my commitment to serving the people all across the Third District, from Woodville to Webster County and everywhere in between.”

A conservative man of faith and integrity, Gregg was elected in November, 2008 to serve the citizens of Mississippi’s Third Congressional District. Soon after the election, his peers elected him as the only freshman of the Republican Steering Committee in the House of Representatives. Gregg is the only Republican freshman appointed by Republican Minority Leader John Boehner to the Committee on House Administration and also sits on the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on the Budget. Gregg currently resides in Pearl with his wife of 29 years, Sidney, and their two children, Livingston and Maggie, where the Harpers are active members of Crossgates Baptist church.
