Category: Mississippi Democrats

Governor of the state of Mississippi from 2000 until 2004.

He defeated Republican opponent Mike Parker for the governor's office in the 1999 election. However, since neither candidate received a majority of the popular vote, the Mississippi House of Representatives selected the winner.

Musgrove advocated that Mississippi's flag, which contained the confederate battle flag within its field, be changed. A new flag design was voted on by referendum in 2001. By a vote of 65%, voters elected to keep the old flag.

He lost his bid for re-election in 2003 to Republican challenger Haley Barbour. See 2003 Mississippi Gubernatorial.

Musgrove was born in Tocowa, Mississippi and graduated from Northwest Community College, the University of Mississippi, and the University of Mississippi Law School.
