Letter #1 by MC (Living Wage) Congressman Trent Kelly 2243 Rayburn House Office Building Washinton, DC 20515 Dear Representative, I'm concerned about income inequality and workers rights. CEO's make $300 to every dollar workers make and many make much more than that eg., in one case 7,000 times more. Many workers struggle to support their families.

This is a letter we received to protest the outrageous school choice legislation.  Please take the time to send your letter to Speaker Jason White and please let me know you’ve taken action.  jwhite@house.ms.gov August 25, 2025   Jason White, Speaker Mississippi House of Representatives 400 High Street Jackson, MS 39201 VIA HAND DELIVERY   Dear  Speaker  White:   I write to express my disapproval  of any legislation that would  use Mississippi taxpayer dollars to fund private schools.   Among my concerns about any  prospective  “school choice” bill are the following:   ▪  Transferring taxpayer dollars from public to private schools will only reverse the educational gains reflected in the “Mississippi Miracle . ”   To argue that “school choice” would improve upon these  remarkable outcomes seems counterintuitive at best, and disingenuous at worst  ( see  https://www.ncpecoalition.org/vouc...

For decades, I have hosted the Mississippi Policy Conference in Tunica, MS. For participants, this annual event represents a gathering of influential business leaders, state and federal policymakers, and grassroots activists united in their goal to create a more equitable and just future for all. For town residents, it serves as a powerful reminder that while certain state lawmakers and leaders may overlook this community, we will never turn our backs on it. It is my greatest honor to serve this community, and I will not rest until every resident has the means to obtain affordable food, healthcare, and education.  As I began to coordinate my next town hall events, I intend to share your idea with my staff. Thank you again for cont...
