- I am committed to creating new job training and educational opportunities in clean energy, technology, and emerging industries to build a stronger, more sustainable economy for District 22.
- I will work to improve educational resources including, universal Pre-K, expanding vocational training, and ensure students in our district have access to the skills and support they need to succeed in today’s and tomorrow's economy.
- I will fight to strengthen our rural healthcare infrastructure and advocate for Medicaid expansion to improve access to quality medical care for families across District 22.
Proverbs 3:27 also reminds us, “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” As a representative, I take this as a call to action to use every opportunity I have to create jobs, improve education, and expand healthcare access and work with everyone seeking a better Mississippi. It’s not enough to hope for change; we must actively work to make it happen.
As a State Representative, I will advocate for stronger transparency measures, including regular public reporting, accessible budget information, and open communication with constituents. I am committed to being an accountable leader who listens, reports back, and works tirelessly to serve the people of District 22 with integrity.

Campaign finance summary
Ballotpedia currently provides campaign finance data for all federal- and state-level candidates from 2020 and later. We are continuously working to expand our data to include prior elections. That information will be published here as we acquire it. If you would like to help us provide this data, please consider donating to Ballotpedia.
Sponsored legislation
The following table lists bills this person sponsored as a legislator, according to BillTrack50 and sorted by action history. Bills are sorted by the date of their last action. The following list may not be comprehensive. To see all bills this legislator sponsored, click on the legislator's name in the title of the table.
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.
