For All Mississippi
It was my greatest honor to be sworn in as Mississippi’s 65th Governor on January 14, 2020.
Standing before all of Mississippi, I promised that this administration would be an administration for all Mississippi. That I would defend the loving culture that underpins our quality of life and work to grow an economy that lifts all of our families. I am determined to honor that promise.
I am asking today for you to join me in that mission. We must care about each other enough to overcome our differences. We must be faithful to each other enough to outlast our shortcomings. And we must be committed to each other enough to raise our expectations.
When I took that first oath of office as State Treasurer in 2003, I did not know how long my service would last. All I knew is that you, the people of Mississippi, had demonstrated a faith in me that I might never be able to meet.
I have never underestimated your trust. I have never forgotten the oath to pursue service with the help of our God. And I will wake up every day working to bring us together to make our state be all it can be. Work that will be done by all of Mississippi.

I’m not opposed to showing these off, however, what is disturbing to me as a parent is the amount of pressure placed on these teachers to “teach the test”. While I realize these types of laws are pushed down from a national level, it is bothersome these men and women who put their all into being a teacher, only to be forced to focus on a test. My question is broader than this, how did the millions of us who are in the work force make it in school? 2 + 2 is and always will be 4 but these children today have missed that bc they don’t only have to know the answer, but why it’s the answer.
Now if we can just teach kids practical information like how to file taxes, how to build a resume, how to check your oil, change your tires, office etiquette, job interview skills, how to budget your money since our grocery costs are 3rd highest in the nation. That would be something to brag on.
Lower the grocery taxes and prices please!!!
