Very proud of our team and especially our Chief @ClarkeWise as he is being recognized for his leading role in keeping us between the ditches and the trains on time.

Come on guys, your article cited is inaccurate. Plenty to report without making it up. Check with anyone actually in the fight in Mississippi on any issue, and you’ll find the MS House actually puts in the work and is leading from the front with a common sense, conservative platform. That includes redistricting. I’ve never said or “argued” that we should wait. Also of note, we have a rock solid conservative governor who’s been through a few battles and is in the habit of “winning”. I’m confident he will make the call when the timing is right, and the MS House will be more than ready. We have no need to rattle the House saber, folks know we will use it.

We are excited to announce the formation of six new House Select Committees to study key issues facing Mississippi and develop policy recommendations ahead of the 2027 Legislative Session. The newly established committees will focus on Government Efficiency, Property Taxes, Redistricting, Judicial Operations, Consolidation, and Specialty Schools. The Mississippi House of Representatives has consistently demonstrated a willingness to take on complex issues with thoughtful study, serious discussion, and deliberate action. Our Select Committee process allows members to engage stakeholders, examine policy from every angle, and build informed, conservative solutions that serve the people of Mississippi. As we prepare for the next legislative session, these six committees will focus on some of the most important structural and policy matters facing our state. Whether it is ensuring government operates more efficiently, evaluating our tax structure, strengthening our judicial system, or improving how specialized educational institutions serve Mississippi families, these committees will help shape meaningful legislation that reflects our commitment to responsible governance. Following the success of previous Select Committees, which produced substantial legislation and meaningful reforms, the House is once again taking a proactive approach to governing. By beginning this work now, we will enter the next legislative session with clear priorities, well-developed policy solutions, and a continued focus on advancing commonsense conservative leadership for Mississippi.

Today, the House adjourned Sine Die, concluding the 2026 Legislative Session. The House maintained its commitment to a transparent budgeting process, allowing all legislators to review government spending prior to voting. I’m pleased that House and Senate appropriators worked together to complete a responsible budget. We have many legislative victories to be proud of, spanning across healthcare reforms, education, PERS, and conservative measures. We came into this Session with the momentum to expand education freedom, build on our gains, and invest in Mississippi’s future generation. While the House is certainly disappointed to have been unable to engage in conversation with the Senate on Education Freedom, when providing options for families resurfaces, and it most certainly will, the House will be ready to prioritize students over systems, and parents over the status quo. The House will continue to embrace challenges and seek solutions. Thank you to my fellow colleagues for the privilege and trust to lead the Mississippi House of Representatives, to my staff for their hard work, and to the people of Mississippi who elected us to confront uncomfortable issues and make tough decisions to build a better, brighter Mississippi.

Awesome seeing these guys today doing well!! Love ya’ll @whitejohn2004 @DavisDalton6 👊🏻💯

For the third consecutive year, the House has tried to provide relief for independent pharmacists with PBM reform. However, the Senate has repeatedly taken this legislation too far, placing the cost burden on the shoulders of Mississippi’s patients. The House’s original bill, and the only PBM reform bill that was before the legislature this Session, would have given independent pharmacists 90% of what they have been advocating for the past three years. Unfortunately, the hang-up continues to point to a mandated prescription fee that would have increased annual healthcare expenses by millions for plan sponsors and higher insurance premiums for hardworking Mississippians. The Governor has been working diligently with all interested parties to find an agreement. Lobbyists for the independent pharmacists have been offered numerous compromises but have so far been unwilling to negotiate. Based on these conversations, the Governor has indicated he would be unlikely to sign House Bill 1665 into law in its current form. With the deadline to Concur or Invite Conference today, HB 1665, as amended by the Senate, is dead. To continue the legislature’s efforts on this issue, the House is requesting Governor @tatereeves call a Special Session within this Regular Session to address PBM reform. The House has consistently made efforts to ease the concerns of our local pharmacists, and we are committed to doing so without harming businesses and Mississippians. The House will remain focused on doing the right thing for all Mississippians. We anticipate further negotiations among all parties to reach a solution that is agreeable within the next few days. It is the Mississippi House of Representatives’ goal to consider and pass a bill that takes into account our state’s patients and businesses, in addition to independent pharmacists.

I was proud to support my friend and mentor, Speaker @PhilipGunnMS, for his portrait unveiling today. Philip leads from the front and certainly left our state better than he found it after his twelve years as Speaker. He worked with honor and integrity in the Mississippi House of Representatives, and I gained many lessons in leadership from him. The portrait of Speaker Gunn, displayed in the entrance of the House Chamber, will serve as a lasting tribute to his great contributions to Mississippi.

@matthewadams12 @DelbertHosemann Check your facts Mr. Adams. You’re not waiting on the Mississippi House.

@delberthosemann @JasonWhiteMS #liquor stores are dying on the vine waiting for y’all to allow purchases from distributors directly due to the #MS #DOR #ABC’s #negligence. Pass the law change NOW.

Fixed it.

Thank you to the 122 House members that voted to prioritize Mississippi teachers, state employees, and taxpayers. House Education Chairman @robroberson43 and Reps. @KentMcCarty, @JansenOwen, and @Repkwfelsher have worked tirelessly and are to be commended. The House will not rest on the time we have been afforded here. We are going to focus on doing big things that positively impact Mississippians. To our teachers, you deserve no less and you deserve the truth. If you are an educator, or passionate about our education system, a first responder, or concerned about PERS Tier 5, read Senate Bill 2103 as amended by the House and decide for yourself if want your State Senate to deliberate, or continue with inaction. This is not about ownership or legislation being finalized in a House Bill versus a Senate bill; as the only vehicle alive now is a Senate Bill amended by the House. This is about pursuing the best policy on the table for Mississippians. In the House, Mississippians will remain the focus, not political plays.

Today, the House stood firm to revive a teacher pay raise that our hardworking educators deserve. With a unanimous House vote this morning, Senate Bill 2103 was amended to include the House’s original teacher pay proposal of $5,000. Now let me be abundantly clear as there has been a lot of misinformation about the other components that were in House Bill 1126, our original teacher pay bill. Yes, there are additional measures in this bill and those measures include exactly this:

The Capitol has been full of young visitors this week! I enjoyed getting to know the students of Tupelo High School’s Broadcast Journalism Class, Attala County FFA, and Madison-Ridgeland Academy’s AP Government Class. Their insightful questions and interest in learning about what happens at their State Capitol are a reminder of the importance of engaging our next generation of leaders.

The Mississippi Federation of Republican Women is an absolute force, and their support and voice on issues lead to commonsense, conservative legislation. Today, I was proud to speak to them and remind them their Republican House is doing Republican things! ✅ Open to Religion Act ✅ The SHIELD Act ✅ Ban on the shipment of abortion inducing drugs ✅ Require local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE ✅ Mississippi Fair Banking Act ✅ Foster Youth Earned Benefits Protection for Success Act ✅ Mississippi Keeping Kids Safe Online Act ✅ AND education reforms that reflect the Republican Party’s core values of freedom, opportunity, and accountability

Today, the House passed all House-originating state budget bills. The subcommittee structure of the Appropriations process in the House provides full transparency and budget vetting, allowing members to know exactly what they are voting for. Despite what some media outlets continue to report, all 51 budget bills were double-referred and managed to make their way through the legislative process just fine, and now head to the Senate for consideration. I applaud our Appropriations Chairmen for their thorough evaluation of our state’s budget. We will repeat this process when we receive the remaining half of the budget bills originating in the Senate. Included in today’s budget bills was the K-12 education budget, which includes the Mississippi Student Funding Formula. For the third year in a row, since the creation of the new funding formula, public education has been fully funded. In just three years, the Mississippi Student Funding Formula has now been fully funded more times than the MAEP formula was funded in its 20+ year history. This is the direct result of prioritizing students over systems. As education remains a top priority in the House, Senate Bill 2294 was amended to include the Mississippi Math Act, Literacy Program Expansion, and Financial Literacy — three components from HB 2 that directly build on our education success. The Mississippi Math Act establishes a statewide framework for mathematics instruction, implements screening and intervention tools to improve student math proficiency, and aligns student math skills with college- and career-readiness standards. The Literacy Program Expansion builds on the success of the Literacy Based Promotion Act (3rd-grade reading gate), commonly known as the Mississippi Miracle, by creating a similar program for 4th through 8th grade to maintain and expand students' reading skills. Lastly, the bill requires that Financial Literacy be added to the curriculum as an option for public school students in grades 6 – 8. For 9th–12th grade, a single half-credit in Financial Literacy must be completed before graduation. When it comes to education or our state budget, the House will not accept the current way of doing things just because that’s the way it has always been done. We all know, when nothing changes, nothing changes. We will continue to seek opportunities that build on our education gains, prioritizing the potential of the next generation of Mississippians.

Proud to meet with the great corporate citizens of Nucor. They serve a valuable role in our community, providing jobs and economic opportunity across Mississippi.
