“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” - Romans 15:13
Proud to join @solutions_tss and @msstate in Starkville this week to celebrate their new collaboration. By pairing MSU’s talent and research with TSS’s expertise, this partnership is creating good jobs for Mississippi graduates while strengthening our national defense. I appreciate everyone investing in our state’s workforce and future.
Breast cancer touches nearly every family, and as October comes to an end, I want to encourage every woman to stay on top of her screenings. Early detection saves lives – take a look at this factsheet, a helpful resource for learning more.

More great news for Mississippi: our catfish, poultry, and rice producers will benefit from USDA’s $61 million Section 32 purchase for food banks and nutrition programs. Our growers and farmers deserve a level playing field against unfair imports that do not match the quality of what our domestic producers bring to market, and I appreciate this administration standing behind the men and women who work hard to feed our nation.
Another $9.7 million is headed to Mississippi communities recovering from Winter Storm Fern. FEMA has approved eight more grants for Alcorn County, Marshall County, Holmes County, Greenwood Utilities Commission, Twin County Electric Power Association, City of Rolling Fork, City of Itta Bena, and City of Batesville. I appreciate Secretary Mullin and Director Hamilton for getting these dollars to our local governments.
Mississippi communities hit hard by Winter Storm Fern are getting relief. FEMA has approved nearly $60 million in grants to reimburse counties, cities, and organizations for debris removal, utility restoration, and other recovery work. As an appropriator who helps to fund FEMA, I’m glad to see these dollars get to our local governments that fronted the costs to begin rebuilding.
Vicksburg holds a significant place in American history, and our new law will help more people experience it firsthand. By modifying the boundaries of Vicksburg National Military Park, we’ve cleared the way for a new visitor center that will tell the full story of the Siege of Vicksburg, boost economic opportunity in the South Delta, and give future generations a deeper understanding of what happened here. I’m grateful to President Trump for signing our bill into law and to our congressional delegation for working together to make it happen.

Federal benefits should go to law-abiding Americans who need them, not to fraudsters – Mississippi taxpayers work too hard to see their money stolen. I’m proud to sign the Vice President’s pledge and join President Trump and Vice President Vance in cracking down on fraud to protect American taxpayers and to ensure these programs serve the people they were meant to help.
It was an honor to celebrate the groundbreaking for the @UMMCnews Cancer Center and Research Institute today. This facility will have a lasting impact on patients, families, and communities across Mississippi. I was proud to help secure federal funding for this project through my role on the Senate Appropriations Committee, and I will continue working to support UMMC's pursuit of an NCI designation. This is a great day for Mississippi.
I’m eager to see more of these additional Rural Health Care Transformation Fund resources put to work in Mississippi to strengthen the rural healthcare workforce and expand access to psychiatric emergency services. Improving the availability and quality of healthcare for rural communities in Mississippi and across the nation is critical, and I will keep working to ensure Mississippians have increased access to quality care, no matter where they live.

Farmers in Mississippi and across America are working hard to bring in this year’s harvest amid rising fuel and input costs. I appreciate President Trump and Secretary Rollins for making $8 billion available through USDA’s Harvest Fuel Relief Program. The program will provide one-time payments to cover a portion of modeled losses for the 2026 crop year.
I encourage producers to set up a Login.gov account linked to USDA now so they’re ready when applications open. For more info, visit usda.gov/farmers-first or contact your local FSA office. This assistance will help our farmers bridge the gap for the remainder of the crop year and continue to feed, clothe, and fuel our nation.
Winter Storm Fern and Tropical Storm Arthur damaged our transportation infrastructure throughout Mississippi earlier this year, so I am pleased to announce that we will receive $5.9 million in two FHWA grants to help our state and the U.S. Forest Service continue repairs. As Chair of the THUD Appropriations Subcommittee, I will continue working to ensure Mississippi has the resources to overcome these natural disasters.

Mitchell Farms and Mississippi’s farm families are setting a high standard! Agritourism strengthens our state’s economy and our communities. This fall, visit a family farm to enjoy a pumpkin patch or corn maze, and thank the farmers who work through every season to make it possible.

Enjoyed visiting the Chemours DeLisle facility in Pass Christian and meeting with the hardworking employees who help drive Mississippi’s manufacturing sector. Their production is important to our economy, and I appreciated the opportunity to discuss ways to control costs and ensure that we support our American production outfits.
