Politician

I'm committed to spending more money on public education.

We deliberately filled our rainy-day fund to its statutory capacity over my time leading the Mississippi Senate as lieutenant governor.

Battles in the Legislature can be tough.

We are taking the steps to transform education in Mississippi with every dollar invested in the classroom and every initiative expanding educational opportunities for students.

The people of Mississippi, black and white, and young and old, can be proud of a banner that puts our faith front and center. We can unite under it. We can move forward together.

We can transform our economy.

Mississippi is an imperfect state, and I can predict with certainty that I will reflect that imperfection. Mississippians also strive for excellence, and I swear to reflect that as well.

A government program helps for a month, but a good-paying career helps a family for generations.

I want to compete with the best - Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas. Because I know that not only can we compete, I know that we can win.
