Campaign website
Hulum’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
The Economy South Mississippi deserves an economy that works for working people, not just for corporations and the wealthy. Families should be able to earn a living wage, support their children, and build a secure life right here at home. Quality Education Every child deserves a quality education, no matter their ZIP code. Strong schools build strong communities — investing tax payer dollars in our children is the best investment we can make in our future. Affordable Healthcare No family should go broke to see a doctor or afford life-saving medication. Access to healthcare is a basic necessity especially in a state where rural hospitals are closing, costs keep rising, and current policies continue to decrease funding for Mississippi’s fragile healthcare system. Criminal Justice Reform Our justice system should keep communities safe while ensuring fairness, accountability, and rehabilitation. We can protect public safety and still work toward a system that treats every person with dignity. Social Justice A fair and free society requires treating every person with dignity and equality. We must ensure that civil rights, voting rights, and basic freedoms are protected for all Mississippians. Every citizen of Mississippi deserves the right and access to participate in the democratic process. National Security After 22 successful years across six combat deployments in the Army, I know what it takes to keep our country safe. National security must be grounded in strength, readiness, and leadership with the experience needed for thoughtful, informed decision-making, instead of partisan actions that undermine stability rather than strengthen America’s position at home and abroad.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
