2020 MS Senatorial race: on Jobs


Mike Espy: Protections for essential workers, paid family/medical leave

America's essential workers disproportionately work more hours, are paid less, and have not traditionally been recognized to the degree to which they deserve. I will be a voice for our workers in Washington. I will ensure their workplaces have health and safety protections in place and that they are prioritized for personal protective equipment, testing, and paid family and medical leave.

Cindy Hyde-Smith: Protect our business & jobs in Mississippi agriculture

I have dedicated my career to being a champion for Mississippi agriculture. Being a pro-business conservative for 12 years and having been Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee for the last 8 years, my proven track record shows my dedication as a true agriculture leader.

My family raises beef cattle and operates the local stockyard auction market in Brookhaven. I know what it means to run an agricultural business. Being well aware of regulations by both the state and federal agricultural departments, I understand the fine line between food safety and sound environmental policies without over-burdensome government regulations.

Agriculture is a driving force in our economy with one in four jobs in Mississippi being agriculture related. I will do everything in my power to protect the jobs we have and create more agriculture-related jobs by making sure Mississippi has a favorable business climate.
