Affordable Healthcare
Candidate positionNo family should go broke to see a doctor or afford life-saving medication. Access to healthcare is a basic necessity especially in a state where rural hospitals are closing, costs keep rising, and current policies continue to decrease funding for Mississippi’s fragile healthcare system.

Serving at Home
Candidate positionWhen the federal government put a halt to social services because of partisan fighting, we stepped up and distributed over 500,000lbs of high quality food across the Mississippi Gulf Coast, regardless of income or residency. Those long lines full of neighbors, full-time workers, and retirees was a clear reminder to me just how close all of us are to being in need when crises hit, and how important it is for leaders and those who can to show up.

The Fight for South Mississippi

National security, foreign policy, and veterans
Candidate positionAfter 22 successful years across six combat deployments in the Army, I know what it takes to keep our country safe. National security must be grounded in strength, readiness, and leadership with the experience needed for thoughtful, informed decision-making, instead of partisan actions that undermine stability rather than strengthen America’s position at home and abroad.
