The tornado damage across south Mississippi is devastating. It is a true blessing that despite destruction, no lives were lost. To the families and businesses in storm-damaged counties that face a long road ahead: you have my full commitment. Mississippi is resilient. If you need assistance navigating resources, please call my office for help.

SCOTUS is right. Communities sharing churches, economies, and values deserve representation free from racial political engineering.

Time to put people 1st and restore Constitutional representation

[Treasurer David McRae @DavidMcRaeMS]

At the State Treasury, we are:
✅ Rooting out fraud
✅ Cutting out waste
✅ Protecting taxpayers

Legislation directing $100 million to help the University of Mississippi Medical Center construct a state-of-the-art cancer research facility has been greenlit by Gov. Tate Reeves.

UMMC officials plan to use the center, which will be constructed adjacent to its main campus, to bring advanced, collaborative cancer care to patients with greater convenience and comfort.

[Rep. Lee Yancey @LeeYanceyMS]

Senator Dean Kirby has faithfully served us in the State Senate since 1992, and I am grateful for his decades of leadership. It was an honor to serve alongside him in the Senate from 2008 to 2012, and I greatly appreciate his commitment to our community.
With Senator Kirby’s recent announcement that he will not seek re-election, I am announcing my candidacy today in Senate District 30 because I believe it is the best way for me to do more for Rankin County.
Having previously served in the Senate and returning to the Mississippi Legislature in 2020 as a member of the House of Representatives, I have had the honor of serving as Chairman of the Drug Policy Committee as well as the Business and Commerce Committee.
My unique background of previously serving in the Senate and now serving in the House gives me strong working relationships within the Legislature. I want to use that experience to help Rankin County even more in the future.
During my time in the Legislature, I have worked to support economic growth, improve education, strengthen our workforce, support law enforcement and address critical issues affecting Mississippi families. This year, I was proud to work with the Rankin County delegation to help secure millions of dollars in funding for our county—investments that support infrastructure, growth and the long-term success for our community.
As the son of a public school teacher and parent of public school graduates, I have worked hard to improve our schools. I voted for the largest teacher pay raise in our state’s history in 2022—and another teacher pay raise in 2026.
I am honored to have been recognized as Legislator of the Year by both the Subcontractors Association and the Homebuilders Association. I have consistently received A ratings from BIPEC for my support of pro-business legislation, and I have also been recognized as Pro-Lifer of the Year and as one of the Top 50 Most Influential Legislators.
Most importantly, I am grateful for my family. My wife, Courtney, and I have been married for 33 years, and we are blessed with two children and two grandchildren. We are active members of Pinelake Church.
I would be honored to continue serving the people of Rankin County in State Senate District 30 in the future, and I ask for your support in the 2027 election as we work together for a stronger Mississippi for our children and grandchildren.

Debanking is wrong!

It directly violates the civil liberties of Americans by denying financial services based upon political and religious viewpoints.

FGA applauds Mississippi Treasurer @DavidMcRaeMS for his efforts to BAN this discriminatory practice.

Hey, @DrOzCMS —

Mississippi is in!

Not only are Mississippi’s students some of the smartest kids in the nation, but they’re also heroes!

@FBIDirectorKash, this guy loves attention. He’s a professor at Ole Miss with a few loose screws, so you may want to check in on him. @FBI @dojphofficial @HarmeetKDhillon

[Philip Gunn @PhilipGunnMS]

Enjoyed spending time on The Coast this weekend and connecting with so many supporters. Special thanks to PRCC for including me in their annual tournament. Lisa and I were honored to join the Hancock County Republican Executive Committee at their event honoring Evelyn McPhail.

[Cindy Hyde-Smith @cindyhydesmith]

I’m grateful for Secretary Rollins’ support of the Buying American Cotton Act. This is about putting American farmers first, strengthening rural economies, and protecting U.S. agriculture. I'll always fight for Mississippi producers and a stronger future for American agriculture.
