A second Republican candidate for Mississippi governor said he would not be alone with a woman who is not his wife in a professional or personal setting
Bill Waller Jr., the former chief justice of the Mississippi Supreme Court, told Mississippi Today that he subscribes to what is known as the"Billy Graham rule," named after the prominent evangelist, in which a man avoids being alone with women other than his wife."I just think it's common sense. I just think in this day and time that appearances are important ... transparency's important.
"Waller's campaign told Mississippi Today last week it is their practice to have a campaign staffer with Waller when he is speaking with the media so the situation was a"non-issue." Waller told the news outlet Monday, that he would not have asked a woman to provide another person to be in the room for a meeting. "In my situation I always made sure that I was in control of the situation — that's the way I do business," he said.
