The moment

This is an open seat.

Mississippi is choosing a new Secretary of State for the first time in eight years, and the office that trains every election official in this state is going to be handed to someone.

I am the only candidate who has stood in a courtroom and proved, on the record, that our safeguards can fail.

Why I’m running

Every vote represents a real person.

In 2013, I stood by a road in the cold holding my own campaign sign. A woman I had never met pulled into a Dollar General, walked a hundred yards across a vacant lot, and offered to hold it for me. Two hours later she was still there, waving at cars. I lost that election. I have never forgotten her.

Every legitimate vote belongs to someone like her. Someone who showed up and trusted a stranger with a piece of their future. They are owed care, not carelessness.
