It’s official: today, surrounded by my loving and supportive family, I filed to run for U.S. Senate in the great state of Mississippi. #MSSen Mississippi is entering a new decade and I want it to be a decade of promise - with people having access to affordable healthcare, where public education is of the highest quality, where teachers can afford to teach, where college graduates can remain here to pursue their dreams.

While this is not the result we were hoping for, I am proud of the historic campaign we ran and grateful for the support we received across Mississippi. We built the largest grassroots organization our state has seen in a generation, through a coalition of voters who shared our belief that Mississippi's future will be brighter than our past.
