From Your Capitol - January 19, 2020
Anti-Gun Bill Introduced in Mississippi Senate
 
   
The second week of the 2020 legislative session was full of ceremony and history. Sometimes I get frustrated and tired of all the ceremonial procedures of government but I realize that for two hundred years the people of Mississippi have been participating in these rituals and ceremonies. They tie us to our past and help us realize the importance of the decisions made by our government.
 
On Tuesday Tate Reeves was sworn in as governor of the state of Mississippi. I believe Gov. Reeves may prove to be the most conservative governor in Mississippi in decades. I have great hope that he will govern according to the same principles and values on which he spoke on the campaign trail.

  From Your Capitol - January 12, 2020  
On Tuesday, January 7 the 2020 legislative session began. I was honored to be re-elected by the people of Olive Branch to represent them for another four years in the Mississippi Legislature.

  Criswell Receives Award for Conservative Excellence  
The American Conservative Union is a long-standing defender of conservative values. Every year, they score legislation based on how it improves the lives of Mississippians by reducing the size government and protecting conservative principles. I am honored and humbled to receive their Award for Conservative Excellence for the 2019 session. Thank you to ACU for your work defending these values, and thank you to my constituents for granting me the honor of representing our shared values at the Capitol.

As a strict conservative I don't vote to increase your taxes or to spend your money on wasteful projects.  This means many of the deep-pocket lobbyist are not very supportive of my efforts.  While other elected offcials receive regular donations from road builders, who want a gas tax increase, and large hospitals, who want to expand medicaid, I recieve none.
 
That is why I need your help.  Sending this email cost several hundred dollars each month, maintaining my website cost over $1000 each year.  Please consider donating, even a $10 recurring donation each month makes a huge difference.
