2011
On her campaign website, Bryan outlines her four top issues:[3]
- Jobs: “People are compromising in order to find a job just to make ends meet. A sound economic policy and the availability of a good education are the threshold of job creation. I will work tirelessly for a vibrant rural Mississippi.”
- Education: “We need to pay our teachers. The government has not sufficiently funded education for the last three years … we must find the funds to pay for this essential investment in the future.”
- Crime: “Crime reduction needs to stay on the short list of major issues in the legislature, since it affects our life, the future of the state, and our budget. While crime has improved, crime associated with drug manufacturing–particularly crystal meth– continues to spill over into other areas. As a start, we need a drug task force, and strict laws and judges.”
- Transportation: “We’ve made strides, but there’s still a long way to go."
