Dear Jack,


Next week, I’ll be traveling to Washington, D.C. talking about Mississippi’s remarkable progress, including our elimination of the income tax and how we might best advance school choice in our state.

Mississippi is gaining national attention for our transformative public policies. Once seen as a perennial underdog, our state is now recognized as a leader in free-market reforms that are driving unprecedented economic growth. A lot of folk in Washington and elsewhere are starting to notice our state for the right reasons!

Over the past five years, under Governor Tate Reeves’ leadership, we’ve achieved more economic progress than in the previous fifteen years combined, attracting massive investment. The folk making the decisions to put their dollars into our state know success when they see it.

This week, the Mississippi Center for Public Policy was honored with an award for our role in eliminating the income tax—a milestone in a series of reforms, including labor market changes in 2021, flat tax implementation in 2022, and school funding reforms in 2023.

As I said in my speech when I accepted the award on behalf of our Mississippi team, together these reforms make a potent policy combination. Click on the image below to hear what I said to the audience about Mississippi’s success story.

Now, we’re focused on the next critical step: school choice. Momentum is building, and there’s strong support from Team Trump, who see it as “the civil rights issue of our time.”

This week, two senior Trump administration officials, Deputy Assistant Secretary Laurie Todd-Smith and Deputy Chief of Staff Lindsey Burke, visited Mississippi to advocate for education reform before the House Select Committee on Education Freedom. Their compelling case was met with enthusiasm from parents, who outnumbered the entrenched status-quo lobbyists.

Mississippi is on the cusp of ensuring every family has access to the educational opportunities their children deserve. Your support is vital as we work to make school choice a reality.

Thank you for standing with us.

Have a wonderful weekend!
