Good jobs, telehealth, and online classes all require fast, reliable internet. But across the Delta and in Black neighborhoods, families still struggle with slow speeds and service that cuts out when they need it most.

Why haven't we heard a word from Bennie Thompson about people dying in a private prison in our district? Because the same private prisons are bankrolling his campaign.

My father Ellis Turnage ran for this congressional seat when it last opened up back in 1993. It’s uncanny that his reasons for running then sound a lot like my reasons in 2026.

Hinds County’s decision not to help administer our primary election voting is concerning. My team is investigating to make sure all eligible voters are still able to make their voices heard at the ballot box on March 10.

While Donald Trump tramples on the constitution, the Democrats in DC keep playing by the same old playbook that got us into this mess. The No Kings Act — which I wrote for Senate Democrats — would rein in the president, and it's time for new leaders who will actually fight to get it passed.

Too many young people leave Mississippi for school or work and don’t come back, because they don’t see our state as a realistic option for their futures. We have to change that.

I went to the Mississippi state capitol to support the Robert G. Clark, Jr. Voting Rights Act of Mississippi. The civil rights protections that a generation of civil rights leaders fought for are under attack, and we have to do everything we can to defend them.

Bennie Thompson didn't even use his role as January 6 Committee Chair effectively to hold Trump accountable, much less do anything to back up the claim that he's the "sole person" fighting back.

If Bennie Thompson’s 33 years in office had helped strengthen our district, there’d be no need for change, but we’ve remained the poorest district in the poorest state for my entire life. I’m done waiting. I’m running for Congress to actually fight for Mississippi:
