We consider a solution to the mu problem in the context of Non-Minimal Gauge Mediation with two Singlets and Low-Scale Messengers. This solution reduces tuning associated with the "Little Hierarchy" problem by permitting a naturally small mu term (100-300 GeV) due to small mixing between the Singlets. The smallness of mu also relies crucially on compressing the Gauge Mediated sparticle spectrum resulting in 330-400 GeV squarks. In addition to a small mu term, the theory achieves a Higgs mass > 114.4 GeV through a large Higgs quartic coupling when tanbeta ~ 1.5. The vacua studied are globally stable with all couplings perturbative to the GUT scale. The amount of tuning required to get the correct Electroweak scale is of order 10%, with a similar residual tuning associated with the region of parameter space where the lightest CP-even Higgs mass is above the LEP bound.
