Mississippi's access to the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi River, and major rail lines and highways give our state tremendous economic potential. As a member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, I'm working to harness these resources to make Mississippi a better place to live and do business.
At the same time, I'm standing up against radical spending plans that would destroy our economy.. Real infrastructure is crucial to our economy and our national defense; progressive wish lists hidden under the guise of infrastructure are not.
