Girl Dad. Husband. 53rd Mayor of Jackson, MS. Public Servant. #OneCityOneAimOneDestiny
This isn’t just about policies. It’s about putting our collective power into practice and ensuring economic dignity for every household, not just a select few.

Real change comes from the ground up.

That’s why I’ve focused on participatory budgeting — so our community helps decide how public dollars are spent — and on cooperative enterprise that keeps wealth where it belongs: in the hands of the people.

The most enjoyable part of the work that I do: being with the community and engaging with the community.

Grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of Jackson.

My principal purpose has been to democratize power and to champion the collective genius of Jackson’s residents, who truly make our city great.

Our progress is powered by the people.

As a public servant, my purpose is to empower communities — and as mayor, that means democratizing power so every resident has a voice in shaping their future.

Thank you, Women for Progress, for this important conversation.

Gun violence isn’t just a statistic — it shatters our families and our communities.

Being mayor gave me the great privilege to stand with Keisha Coleman (of our Office of Violence Prevention and Trauma Recovery) to launch “100 Days of Action” to reclaim our neighborhoods.
