“I am seeking the Secretary of State position to increase voter access, voter participation and increase voter confidence in the election process.”
“The SoS’s office impacts so many areas of Mississippian’s daily lives and I believe it’s important to have a conservative leader in the office who understands the importance of shrinking the size of government, cutting regulations where possible and applying the law fairly and consistently. It’s also imperative that we have a SoS who’s committed to ensuring Mississippi has clean, fair and secure elections. “

“At end of my four year term, I pray that we will be successful with the reasons I am in the race.”
“I hope to instill even more confidence in our election process, ensure we have a lean, but smart regulatory system for our businesses and charities, and to move the Department of Motor Vehicles from the Department of Public Safety to the SoS’s office to make sure Mississippians receive the level of professionalism and services they deserve. “
