Fair Redistrictring - in order to have a more engaged voting population and equal representation in Jackson, redistrctring must be fair and not drawn to benefit the incumbent.
Criminal Justice Reform - non-violent offenders being jailed and fined is a tragedy for all of humanity. It has a ripple effect across society, and typically not with positive long-term effects.
Most importantly, I can bridge the gap. I am able to bring people together and connect them when they have common goals but their dualism is blinding them to the fact they can work together. I don’t have to be beholden to bi-partisan games.
It is a self-empowering book that, gwhen the principles are applied, brings so much personal freedom to be so much more than who you have told yourself you could be. It teaches how to overcome the stories you and others have drilled into your mind about who you are and the limitations they think you should have. If we all lived with this freedom this country would have so much innovation the world would never be able to catch up.

Ballotpedia biographical submission form
The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:
| “ | What is your political philosophy?
I'm a very passionate individual, and that passion is displayed in how I communicate, my work ethic, and my love for people. Uncovering the individual's needs is extremely important, whether it's interacting with individuals on a daily basis, in a professional environment, or learning how state and local laws positively or negatively impact them. I believe that creativity, innovation, and individualism leads to the success of any business, community, or society Political division and identity politics is alive and well not only in Mississippi, but all across America. Voters continue to identity with their tribe, and yet voting this way has given us what we deserve as we continue to vote the same way over and over again. What we have is a system that doesn’t work for the people. It works for the special interests, the lobbyists, and the corporations who want more. Don’t get me wrong, there are beautiful, amazing people serving their constituents who have great intentions. However, the way they go about attempting to solve the problems have unseen and unintended consequences. They continue to write laws, restrict rights and give money away the same way, over and over again.[2] |
