At @MECStateChamber's Hobnob, I commended them for taking the lead to create a transformative initiative, the Mississippi Business Alignment 2026, as they look for ways to provide a more unified organizational structure for the members of MEC, as well as the members of @MSManufacturers and @bipec. I applaud MEC President @ScottWallerMEC for taking the initiative to explore this opportunity, and I thank @McKay_MMA and Derek Easley for being willing to engage in this endeavor. In the House of Representatives, we try to build consensus and this type of organization enhances our ability as policymakers to support the Mississippi business community.

Mississippi is investing nearly $17 million to further develop industrial sites throughout the state.
These long-term investments will help prepare shovel-ready sites for companies to build or expand their operations here.
This will be vital to creating new and higher-paying jobs for our local communities.
