| Collapse all
- Expand Medicaid - Mississippians are at a crossroads. We either believe we are ALL God’s children or we’re not. I’m running because elected officials represent all of us, even the ones who don’t vote for them. By expanding Medicaid, we save 300,000 Mississippians from living without healthcare, we create jobs, stop hospital closings and boost the economy.
- Drop the grocery tax - Food shouldn’t be taxed. Period. Mississippi is a working class state and it makes better economics for the majority to drop the grocery tax to save working families money.
- Fully fund Public Education - There’s enough money in this state to fully fund public education in all 82 counties. We just have to vote for lawmakers who believe in inclusion and not exclusion. Education is critical to Mississippi’s future. We must better prepare our students whether it’s for college, skilled labor government services. We are not where we should be and it’s time to stop the hemorrhaging of our best leaving the state.
