Can’t rape your wife in MS and can’t rape a woman who isn’t a virgin. Unbelievable. Yet we are we are. Still. mississippitoday.org/2022/03/01/bid…

The Mississippi House of Representatives has submitted the Conference Report for HB530/START Act (Teacher Pay Raise Bill) to the Senate. Details ⬇️. We hope to have this on the Governor’s desk ASAP! #msleg #teachersmatter #forwardprogress 🍎📚✏️

Today, the House & Senate reached an agreement on The START Act— a nearly $250mil investment in MS teachers. Under this legislation, teachers will receive an average raise of $5,140, effective in the 2022-2023 school year. Asst. teachers will also receive a $2,000 raise.

You just never know who’s going to show up at the Capitol….today we had a visit from @rickymedlocke guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd. (My dad is big jealous 🤣) #msleg #rocknroll 🎸

The START Act - the largest teacher pay raise in the history of MS - is headed to the Governor! This $250M investment in our teachers is also an investment in our future. [MS’s starting teacher pay is now above Both the national & southeastern averages] #msleg #forwardprogress

Happy Easter from my family to yours! 🐰💙✝️

It was a privilege meeting these amazing women today! Thank you Chapel Hart for representing our state so well! #msleg #porchcaucus #mississippi

Proud to co-sponsor this important piece of legislation! It is long overdue and much needed. #healthymoms #healthybabies #msleg

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

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

Proud of this work by our teachers and students!

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours! 🦃💙

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 Taylor Swift tickets, increasing teacher pay, and eliminating homework.

Members of the Mississippi House of Representatives joined the CANOPY 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 Gerard Gibert for being a long time board member of Canopy. Rep. Shanda Yates

$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.
