Submitted Biography: "As the only Democrat running for LT Governor go vote for #LtGROVERnor Tuesday, November 11, 2023 Having been born and raised in Mississippi there are very few people that love this state more than Ryan. Refusing to contribute to the Mississippi Brain Drain Ryan has decided to run for one of the most important positions in the state. Having had much experience in the nonprofit, governmental and small business worlds Ryan is the ideal Lt Governor. Mississippi has so many problems needing resolution and today's politicians are doing a poor job of managing our state. Elect a true Mississippian who knows what problems citizens face through first hand experience. Government should not be a burden but a resource. Doing business and contributing to our economy should not be difficult. Ryan's main three objectives are sustainability, efficiency, and money. With Ryan at the helm we will focus on creating a sustainable economy focused on sustainable resourcing. Developing governmental efficiency through technology and modernization of our current structure. And money never is short demand but always in short supply. By providing a fair, competitive environment, all Mississippi entrepreneurs will have a chance to work on their passions without all the stress that comes with running a business. Go vote for Grover 11/7/23! Let's make the state work for the people and not get in the way of progress."
