The Right Priorities

Jackson County is about family. It’s about providing our children with great teachers and great schools so they can realize their dreams. It’s about making sure we rebuild bigger and better than ever so we can provide new and unprecedented opportunities for our people. It’s about keeping our community secure so our children can grow up in the same safe friendly environment we did.

Jackson County Roots

I was born and raised in Pascagoula where my mom worked as a bank teller and my dad was a pipefitter at Ingalls. After graduating from Pascagoula High School, I earned a BBA and a law degree from the University of Mississippi. Upon finishing school, I returned home to practice at Dogan, Wilkinson, Kinard, Smith & Edwards, a defense firm in Pascagoula.

Committed to Our Values

My career is important to me, but my family and community are what matter most. I am a member of Liberty Assembly of God, where my father has been the pastor for the past 15 years. I’m active in Rotary, Kiwanis, the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society because I believe in giving back to the community that has given so much to me.

Ready to Serve

I’m running for State Senate because Jackson County needs leadership that shares our priorities of jobs, education and upholding our values. These are the things that make Mississippi and Jackson County a great place to live and raise a family.
