To me, it’s simple — for every pro-life Mississippian, there’s only one choice in the November 7 gubernatorial election: Brandon Presley. 

As a Christian, a pro-life advocate, and a Democrat — in that order — my convictions on the sanctity of life are deeply personal. For years, I’ve been known for challenging my party’s orthodoxy on abortion on demand, often at odds with Presidents Biden and Obama, the DNC and Washington Democrats. It’s a sometimes lonely position, but I firmly believe it’s the right path.

As a mother, my pro-life convictions are deeply personal. I know the incredible joy and love that a child can bring into one’s life. I also understand the sacrifices and challenges that come with motherhood. But I’ve always believed that life is a precious gift that begins at conception and should be protected and cherished at every stage.
