BREAKING: We filed a complaint with the Mississippi Ethics Commission for illegally preventing @nickjudin at the @MSFreePress from attending House GOP Caucus meetings. Mississippians deserve to know how policies get made.

“Being a woman is nothing new. Succeeding as a woman is nothing new. Validate your own worth with the strength of your character, passion and authenticity. There will always be someone who doubts your ability to accomplish success.
Succeed anyway.” https://t.co/LXeTQP0I5a
