When Willie Bozeman first visited the Mississippi Capitol as a child, there was one black legislator out of 174.  At age 31, he became a legislator himself serving a largely rural district.

Willie Bozeman learned the legislative process as a two term House member, but since 2000, he’s been wearing the lobbyist hat and roaming the halls of the Capitol.  His background gives him instant credibility with legislators.

He has a remarkably diverse base of clients.  Representing everything from hospital and gaming interests to more political organizations like Southern Poverty Law Center and the Mississippi Association for Justice, he is able to juggle it all for his clients and be one of the more effective advocates in the Capitol.
