Jourdan Derouen Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Steve Lott, the Republican state representative serving Mississippi House District 107, covering parts of George and Stone counties. A native of Tylertown and a longtime resident of Lucedale, Lott brings a unique blend of private-sector experience and community commitment to the State Capitol. After earning both a bachelor's in engineering technology and a master's in business and economic development from the University of Southern Mississippi, he spent decades working in operations, supply chain, and project development with Chevron before turning his focus to public service. Since assuming office in January 2024, Rep. Lott has focused on representing his constituents' interests, tackling issues from economic growth and infrastructure to education and workforce development. He serves on several key House committees, including Energy, Transportation, Ports, Harbors and Airports, Universities and Colleges, and Workforce Development, shaping policy that affects daily life across Mississippi. Join us as we explore his journey from business to the legislature, what drives his approach to leadership, and the priorities he's championing for his district and the state.  sponsored by Oliver Scott Insurance  Home Auto Commercial Life Levanway & Associates Government Relations Zuber Law Firm Inc Somawe Marketing www.somawe.com

Commissioner Sean Tindell   When I sat down to make a few notes to craft an introduction to Commissioner Tindell I quickly started filling up pages of my yellow pad. I quickly realized that there is one fundamental characteristic that stands out in his life and his career and that is his commitment to the public safety of this state. Briefly he has served as a prosecutor, several years in the MS State Senate, appointed by Governor Bryant to the Appellate Court, and finally appointed by Governor Reeves as Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety where he continues to serve today. Some would call that a trifecta – having served in all three branches of state government. Let me introduce you to my friend, Sean Tindell.   Sponsored by Oliver Scott Insurane www.oliverscottins.com Watch on www.jourdanderouen.com

Hank Zuber, Representing District 113. Hank is an attorney, world traveler, the last of the Mohegans and the biggest cheerleader for Ocean Springs.

Sarah Adlakha was born to parents who embodied resilience and responsibility—a mother who fled war-torn Europe and rebuilt her life, and a father shaped by the Great Depression. As the youngest of five, she was raised with hard work, faith, and personal responsibility. A scholar-athlete, Sarah earned a tennis scholarship and graduated with honors before serving as a paramedic, where she saw firsthand the challenges families face in accessing care. That experience led her to medical school and a life devoted to serving others. After residency, Sarah and her husband chose to plant their roots in Mississippi, where they've raised their three daughters. Believing parents know best, they blended homeschooling and Mississippi public schools to meet their children's needs. Today, their twin daughters attend Ole Miss. https://www.sarahformississippi.com/ watch www.jourdanderouen.com sponsors Oliver Scott Insurance Home| Auto| Commercial| Life www.oliverscottins.com
