Need a mask?

  Every day, Mike is reminding folks in Mississippi and all over the country to mask up in the face of coronavirus. Wearing a mask is a simple yet effective way to better protect your loved ones, neighbors, and others in your community. Up until last week, our state did not have a ma…

The U.S. Postal Service should not be politicized

  Folks, Americans depend on the U.S. Postal Service for so much – letters, legal documents, government benefits, medication, and other packages.  Despite this, the USPS is being sabotaged. The Trump administration has made it clear from the beginning that they’d like to see the feder…

Reaching out early

  Hi! It’s Cecilia, Team Espy’s finance director. I know you typically hear from me at the end of the month or quarter, when we’re coming up on a major fundraising deadline, but I’m reaching out to you today because August is a notoriously tough month for campaign fundraising. Even mo…

This is absolutely horrible

  Folks, Mississippi now has the highest positivity rate of new COVID-19 cases than any other state in the country. This is the last thing we want our state to be #1 in, but it comes as little surprise given we lead the country in lack of access to affordable health care and medical r…

re: COVID-19 and schools

Cut to the chase

  There’s just hours left until our July fundraising deadline, so we’ll cut to the chase:  Can you chip in $10 or more to help our campaign hit $150,000 this month and give us the resources to elect Mike Espy as the next U.S. senator from Mississippi? We can only do this together, and…

Tell Congress: Honor John Lewis by passing the Voting Rights Advancement Act
