@RussLatino A cameraman would do at this point. 🤷🏻‍♀️🥴

$24M to JPS - largest amount ever - is worth fighting for. INSPIRE is a student-centered formula that sends our dollars where they are needed the most. A vote for INSPIRE is a vote for our public schools.

[Rep. Jansen Owen @JansenOwen]

If I recall, only one chamber is on record saying they’re okay leaving this session with a “level funded” education budget. Hint: the @MSHouseOfRep is not that chamber.

Our “way” is $3.001b in education funding ~record amounts~ by and through a formula that sends the money to the students & districts that need it the most. #INSPIRE

[Rep. Kevin W. Felsher @RepKWFelsher]

Members of the @MSHouseOfRep joined the @canopychildren team to tour their campuses. It’s simply amazing the work these individuals do to help our youth and to positively change lives. A big thank you to @grgibert for being a long time board member of Canopy. @RepShandaYates

I had the best time helping these #GirlScouts from St. Andrew’s Troop 4417 earn their “democracy badge” this afternoon. The girls had lots of ideas for new laws - including mandatory price ceilings on @taylorswift13 tickets, increasing teacher pay, and eliminating homework.

@DanGutmanBooks They both go out with a [big] bang?? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

[Rep. Shanda Yates @RepShandaYates]

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours! 🦃💙

[Rep. Shanda Yates @RepShandaYates]

Thank you! Four more years of common sense solutions for District 64. It’s an honor to continue serving you. #ResultsMatter

@StateRepBain 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your favorite day at the well. Let me know if you need me to rattle off the list again for you.

[Bully Bloc @bullybloc]

Bully Bloc supports @RepShandaYates in her bid for re-election in District 64, representing Jackson, Ridgeland, and Madison. Shanda is a tough advocate for her district in the legislature!

The article has been revised to correctly state the law in MS.

[Rep. Shanda Yates @RepShandaYates]

This ⁦@AP⁩ article incorrectly states that you cannot vote in tomorrow’s runoff if you didn’t vote in the original primary. This is false. If you did not vote at all in the primary, you may vote in the runoff tomorrow. ⁦⁦@MichaelWatsonMS⁩ https://t.co/6GMP5PmC0a

Proud of this work by our teachers and students!

Is the "Mississippi Miracle" real?

[Rep. Shanda Yates @RepShandaYates]

His homework was to document something he would deem important as a historian. He’s writing about the #msleg changing the flag. He has smiled SO much seeing my name and the names of so many of his “friends” from the Capitol in that book! #proudmommoment

[Rep. Shanda Yates @RepShandaYates]

@andrewketchings We’ve got a song and a fruit and a flower. Why not a mascot too? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

[Rep. Shanda Yates @RepShandaYates]

@andrewketchings Love this! @andrewketchings - I will send him a response if you get his address to me!

Landshark as the state mascot made me giggle. I love kids. 🤣

[Rep. Shanda Yates @RepShandaYates]

Proud to have authored this legislation to make sure that customers continue to receive water bills based on the amount of water they use. #msleg #commonsenselegislation

[Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves]

Water bills will continue to be based off of personal consumption. It just makes common sense. I just signed the law to guarantee it.

[Rep. Shanda Yates @RepShandaYates]

@Pannell64 @MSFreePress @tatereeves @MSGOP I actually do the read the bills and made an amendment to have issues in the bills fixed. The amendment passed but wasn’t incorporated into the bill text correctly. This wasn’t realized until after the bill was in the Senate.

[Rep. Shanda Yates @RepShandaYates]

@ManSwac @JeremyEnglandMS @jallen1985 Here’s the vote count on the bill I authored. It was a very close vote. I just glanced at the list and I don’t think I saw a single Dem in the list that voted for the bill (if I missed someone I stand corrected).
