Description

Fresh off his speech at the Neshoba County Fair, Mississippi's 62nd Speaker of the House, Jason White joins host Grant Callen for this episode of the Empower Podcast. We recap his fair speech and talk about the experience of walking out on that storied stage at Neshoba. We discuss the impact of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and the Speaker’s plans for a similar omnibus bill, which will incorporate a range of education reform priorities to build on the Mississippi Miracle and our recent economic achievements. The Speaker makes his case for education freedom and why this is the moment for Mississippi to join the school choice revolution that is sweeping the country. He explains why the House is prioritizing the next generation over the next election, and challenges both policymakers and citizens to think about who current systems are really serving. He previewed the upcoming House Select Committees on voting rights, PERS, and revitalizing Jackson, explaining how his priorities focus on dismantling barriers to ensure more Mississippians can thrive.
