How do we bring in industries to develop capital to get our state moving in the right direction?
I mean, we're not like LA where you got builders.
I mean, you know, every, you know, it's really- And we spend it wisely.
I'm gonna let y'all control that.
But for Mississippi, we need capital.
We need economic development.
We've gotta be, even Republicans, leaders know that.
And so that's an area where I can be impactful that's really bipartisan.
In the other areas, we gotta find, like for me, I gotta find smaller problems that I can help solve.
Like I had a good friend of mine who mentioned to me that dental care is really bad in Mississippi.
And so, like, that's a problem that I can help solve as a senator for Mississippi.
That's not a partisan thing.
So trying to find solutions to practical problems that makes people's life better.
And the other thing that I'm going to do, and I've learned this from campaigning so much, is, you know, we can't stop campaigning.
I mean, I know once you win, you got to govern, but you also better still campaign.
Because a place like Mississippi, if they feel like you go to D.C.
and you're just making money or, you know, just a celebrity campaign,
So for me, we got to have strong anti-corruption legislation that makes clear that we're not in there making money.
