In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I believe the most important thing a leader must do is listen.”
“Mississippi needs Congress to deliver practical, measurable improvements in everyday life: affordable health care, strong rural hospitals, good jobs with wages people can live on, resilient roads and water systems, reliable broadband, and disaster recovery that reaches small towns as quickly as it reaches big cities.”
“I’m running as an Independent because both political parties have failed us. The Republican Party has failed us, and the Democratic Party has failed us.”
