Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour is only the second governor since Reconstruction to be elected to a second consecutive term as Mississippi's chief executive. He was named Governor of the Year for 2006 by Washington, D.C.-based Governing magazine; awarded the Gulf Guardian Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for his work to rebuild and protect sensitive Coast ecosystems; and received the 2008 Adam Smith Medal from BIPAC for his pursuit of the principles of free enterprise as Mississippi's 63rd Governor. In June 2009, Governor Barbour assumed the role of chairman of the Republican Governors Association.
