Expand all | Collapse all

I am a Christian Conservative who will always stand up for conservative values that make our country and communities stronger. I am a military spouse and my country is very important to me. My husband is also a first responder and it is important to me that we support them. I am a MS licensed teacher and small business owner I am a mother of 3 adult children and am pro life and believe we should have more programs for our at risk mothers to care for them before, during and after childbirth. I am a supporter of our 2nd Amendment Rights and Free Speech.
  • Higher Teacher Salary for SPED Teachers and SPED Assistant Teachers, Veteran Teachers and Assistant Teachers
  • More Affordable Medical Insurance for School Employee and State Employees, More Money for School Supplemental Employees
  • Inflation, support cut in grocery and gas tax and personal income tax
I am passionate about Education, Foster Care, Adoption, Mental Health Issues and our Homeless Communities (if a state has a surplus of billions of dollars in our budget we should not have homeless individuals living in our community.

I am passionate about school safety, 2nd Amendment rights and freedoms. I will never vote for mandates that harm our children and their ability to learn, no vaccine mandates, no cancel culture and absolutely no CRT in our schools.
My mother because she was a trailblazer in her industry being one of the few women working in the auto mobile auction business to become a award winning manager for a auction she and my father built together and later sold. She taught me that a woman can be independent as well as being a good mother and wife.
Integrity, trustworthy, creating policy and passing bills based on the promise you made to your voters during your campaign and not saying you will vote one way and vote another way once elected.
Integrity, loyalty, independent thinker, researcher, problem solver, leader, trustworthy, mother, military spouse, down to earth, good listener, creative
To create and pass bills that will impact our communities in the most positive ways for the whole and not a few.
I would like to pass bills that will insure my children and grandchildren and their children will live in safe communities, conservative values are instilled, less debt to be paid, good education and less inflation and a state that is peaceful, where parents make their own decisions for their children with less government involvement. Where people are accepting of eachother without abandoning conservative values. Where there is more love than hate and we all can come together for a better state and a better country.
When President Richard Nixon had to resign after Watergate Scandal. I was ten years old.
I worked for my family's automobile auction as a teen part time
The Bible, it is fascinating read
A song that my son wrote for my daughter (his sister at her wedding) "Magnolia"
I do not find that I struggle much in life. I feel that there are no mistakes in life, just experiences and I have always leaned on my faith to be my guide.
I believe being a good listener can go a long ways.
I feel that our new teacher salary needs to be revisited to include higher pay for veteran teachers, SPED teachers, assistant teachers and supplemental employees as well as state employees. We need more affordable state medical insurance as well.

I feel we have a challenge of making sure that liberal policies do not enter our state or schools. Our children need to be protected by conservative policies.

I also feel that our state has the task of accounting for surplus of money in our budget because many Mississippians feel that they are not being told where these dollars are going and have gone.
I do not. I feel our state legislator body should be made up of people who are working in the different industries so that they can make policy based on their work experiences. A example is education, I know our state would benefit from having committee members who are in the classroom or who have had the experience of actually being in a classroom. Government seems to be comprised of mostly attorneys and while we need attorneys we need a better sampling of people in our communities to pass new laws that will affect us all.
I do think its always important to be able to work across the isle with our colleagues but at the end of the day I will always vote in the way that I feel will benefit my constituents and if this means voting against the popular vote, I have no problem standing alone in my decisions.
no
undecided
don't really have one
I do believe in standing up for my values and morals based on being a Christian Conservative. I am open to listening to different ideas and opinions to work with others for the good of our citizens but I will not bend on policies that go against my conservative values.
Higher pay for veteran teachers, assistant teachers, SPED teachers and SPED assistants and more affordable health plans
none as of yet
Education, Small Business, Economic and Tourism
