WELCOME
FROM THE
Candidate
Welcome!! to my campaign website. Please visit often to stay up to date on our activities and opportunities to join us on the campaign trail.
I am very proud to call Gulfport home. My family’s legacy is grounded in community service and entrepreneurship. I have carried forward this legacy with dedication and an unbreakable commitment to serving our city. As a former Capitol Hill staffer, former state legislator representing District 119, and successful small business owner, I have built a career advocating for our community and fighting for what is right.
In the Mississippi House of Representatives, I stood strong for public education, healthcare, and economic opportunity. I helped lead the historic effort to remove the Confederate emblem from the state flag, pushing Mississippi toward a brighter, more unified future.
Now, as the Mississippi Policy Director for a national non-profit, I continue the work for civil rights and social justice.
My vision for Gulfport is a thriving, inclusive Community. I am ready to lead
our city into a future where every voice matters and every
opportunity is possible.
Join the movement for ONE GULFPORT and let us work together
to build a stronger, more united city.
