AnnaBelle, Bentlee and Grayson's Dad and Amanda's Husband. I love to help businesses help promote and grow their business. Representing House District 56
Rep. @ClayMansell did the heavy lifting, along with Rep. @LeeYanceyMS and Sen. Chris Johnson. Y’all make sure to thank them for the work they did to help protect Mississippi businesses!
It was great to run into a group of Mississippi College nursing students at the Capitol. They were on a mission by Dr. Blake Thompson to find me! I was also able to introduce them to the House as they watch from the gallery.
Mississippi showed up on the biggest stage.
Ole Miss knocks off Georgia 39–34 in the Sugar Bowl.
A hard-fought win, a strong finish, and a moment the whole state can celebrate.
Congrats to the Rebels on a huge bowl victory.
The Capital City Revitalization Select Committee remains focused on making real progress for the Jackson metro area. Chair @RepShandaYates and Co-Chair @ClayMansell have done an excellent job bringing city leaders together to address challenges with purposeful solutions.
Looking forward to hearing from Mayor Horhn & receiving updates on new laws addressing squatting, panhandling, encampments, & blight. The committee remains focused on making real progress for our Capital City, with additional hearings set for this fall and winter. @JasonWhiteMS
The Capital Revitalization Select Committee was incredibly successful in its work last Session, with five bills stemming from this committee becoming law. I evolved in my thinking of Jackson, Mississippi. I used to say let them fix their own mess. But for a large portion of the nation and world, all they see of Mississippi is Jackson. We are excited about the possibilities with new city leadership with Mayor @John_Horhn. This Select Committee will continue their efforts to improve our Capital City.

I enjoyed speaking to the Class of 2025 at Clinton Christian Academy. Grateful for the opportunity to share a few words with these bright young leaders. Congratulations to the Class of 2025!
Thanks to the @39056_Chamber hosting a great ribbon cutting for Clinton Pickleball Club. Joshua Welch is one of the co-owners and has made a name for himself in the area as the owner of Froghead Grill. Thanks for the investment in our community!
Broke ground Monday on the Clinton-Raymond-Bolton Wastewater Authority’s $14.6M sewer project, a key step toward 40 miles of infrastructure to protect our environment and support growth in western Hinds County. Proud to stand with Clinton, Raymond & Bolton.
The Battle of Tombigbee champion belt is heading back to the Sip! Thank you to our friends in Alabama for the hospitality and for the opportunity to support @ChildrensAL. Well done, Mississippi!
ABB’s multi million dollar expansion is a big deal for Mississippi. But it is just one of many very large investments in Mississippi. Our people’s future is bright.
As @tatereeves has said many times, this is Mississippi’s time!
Had a great visit to Funtime Preschool in Clinton for #WeekOfTheYoungChild! Early childhood education supports kids, working families & MS’s future. Thanks to MS Early Childhood Advocacy Council & the amazing educators for all you do! 👶📚💼

Proud to present a scholarship—sponsored by Mansell Media—to Wellsley Wilkinson through the Clinton Chamber Youth Leadership program. Even more special this year since I know the recipient. Congrats, Wellsley! Enjoy Ole Miss! 🎓👏 #ClintonMS#YouthLeadership
When I was elected Speaker on January 2, 2024, I pledged to my House colleagues and all Mississippians to strive for a more transparent and open budget process. Members would not be expected to meet behind closed doors and late on weekend nights to rush out a budget without full vetting and an opportunity to question and scrutinize every tax dollar spent.
The events unfolding in Washington, D.C. also show that voters demand a departure from the “business as usual mindset” when it comes to policymaking and spending tax dollars. If the political movement in our state and in our country over the last 12 months has taught us anything, it is this: taxpayers are tired of doing business “the way we’ve always done it.”
Contrary to comments made by Senate leadership, the House did indeed debate and pass the entire budget and sent a combination of both House appropriations and Senate appropriations bills and all of those bills were simply met with Senate amendments that would not allow them to pass and thereby force a Conference weekend.
In January 2025, I communicated the House position concerning an orderly and transparent appropriations process, and that we would not engage in the late-night, last-minute conference weekend “status quo” budgeting process that they cling to. This was not a surprise.
I applaud my Appropriations Chairs and Vice Chair for their diligent work on the budget. They have produced a conservative and responsible budget for the people of Mississippi.
The House will reconvene on Monday at 1:00 PM. If the Senate wishes to engage in an open and transparent process, the House stands ready work and there is plenty of time to conclude our business.
This Legislative Session, the number one priority has been the elimination of our State Income Tax. That became a reality today as the governor signed HB1. @JasonWhiteMS
@bulldoglvr@JasonWhiteMS Income tax goes down over 10 years or so. Grocery tax reduction will be immediate once bill goes into low. Gas tax is over 3 years.
