MS Roads Matter

Public campaign to raise awareness of MS's infrastructure issue and to bring additional support to MS legislators fighting for this effort.

[Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves]

I’m proud we were able to pass a plan to invest more in maintaining roads and bridges with bipartisan support over the past week. I appreciate the work of Gov. Bryant, Speaker Gunn, and the Senate and House in this special session.

[Philip Gunn @PhilipGunnMS]

MS citizens are the winners today. The infrastructure needs of our state have been addressed during this special session, and citizens will begin to see results.
