Through decades of hands-on experience, he has played an important role in building and maintaining the roads and transportation networks that support local commerce, public safety, and economic growth. “Frank represents the hardworking men and women who keep Mississippi moving,” Ezell said. “From building roads to strengthening our infrastructure, his work supports our economy and improves daily life for families across the Gulf Coast.
