Hinds County’s decision not to help administer our primary election voting is concerning. My team is investigating to make sure all eligible voters are still able to make their voices heard at the ballot box on March 10.

I was happy to be a sponsor of Women for Progress’s leadership weekend. WFP is a beacon in our community, and the fight for women’s rights is critical.

While Donald Trump tramples on the constitution, the Democrats in DC keep playing by the same old playbook that got us into this mess. The No Kings Act — which I wrote for Senate Democrats — would rein in the president, and it's time for new leaders who will actually fight to get it passed. #NoKings

Too many young people leave Mississippi for school or work and don’t come back, because they don’t see our state as a realistic option for their futures. We have to change that.

This #MLKDay I went to the Mississippi state capitol to support the Robert G. Clark, Jr. Voting Rights Act of Mississippi. The civil rights protections that a generation of civil rights leaders fought for are under attack, and we have to do everything we can to defend them.

You can’t say you have a “100% voting record” when you voted against the most important voting rights package in a generation. I’m running for Congress to make sure Mississippi has a real fighter in Washington.

I just got back from my morning run, and I'm fired up by all the support we've received in the past 24 hours to sprint to the primary on March 10th. Thank you to everyone who's shared our launch video, offered your support, or made a contribution to this campaign.

If Bennie Thompson’s 33 years in office had helped strengthen our district, there’d be no need for change, but we’ve remained the poorest district in the poorest state for my entire life.
