A Message From Melanie

I was born and raised in rural Mississippi, a place my

family has called home for eight generations.  I was taught

a deep understanding of public service and community

involvement, with various members of my family holding

office in our state and community for more than a century.

​

Through volunteer and professional positions, I have

decades of experience in agriculture and small business

management, including economic and community

development.  I believe the best attributes of Southwest

Mississippi are our people and natural resources. My

unique personal and professional experiences, along with

my legislative track record of getting things done, make me

the candidate most qualified to serve the people of

Southwest Mississippi.

​

Sadly, our traditional conservative values are under attack

by liberals in Washington and Jackson.  It will require bold

action to turn things around. I have been recognized for

having “political courage” by political observers across the

country, earning a reputation of someone who will fight for

you.  Whether defending the unborn, the Second

Amendment, or our precious religious liberties, I vow to

never back down on what is most important to us. And I

will support President Trump as he continues his fight

against the swamp and rampant corruption in Washington,

D.C.

​

My record demonstrates that I can work with many

different entities and personalities to produce positive

results. Working with you and our local and state leaders,

Southwest Mississippi will always have a strong advocate,

and our people will always have a seat at the table. My

work in the Mississippi Senate shows that I can work with

others as we march toward the common goal of improving

Mississippi. My record speaks for itself -- I will get things

done to make Southwest Mississippi a better place.

​

I am proud of the progress we have already accomplished

together, but there is more to be done.  

​

I humbly ask for your vote.  And with your permission, I

eagerly look forward to continuing our work.  We will join

together and defend our conservative values. We will also

work toward the common goal of creating a positive

business environment, providing opportunity and jobs for

our children so they can stay home in Mississippi and raise

their families.  We will put Mississippi first.

​

Working together, we can defend our Mississippi values,

strengthen our economy, and get results for Southwest

Mississippi.  With each of you, we can make those goals a

reality.

​

Melanie
