In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I’ll work with anyone — Democrat, Republican, or independent — to do what’s best for Mississippi, because I believe Mississippi matters.”
“I won’t cut benefits and I won’t raise the retirement age on people who’ve done physical work their whole lives. The honest fix is the one nobody in Washington wants to say out loud: right now, income above a certain level stops being taxed for Social Security. We should ask the highest earners to contribute their part.”
“I’m personally pro-life. As a father of two daughters, I understand the importance of reproductive freedom and trust women to make the right decision for themselves.”
“I oppose privatization, period. Social Security is not a bet, and Mississippians who paid in their whole working lives shouldn’t have their retirement riding on the market.”
“I ran for district attorney at 32 against a 27-year incumbent for the same reason I’m running now: I thought families in Mississippi deserved better than we were getting.”
