Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felonies. @SenatorWicker 's continued support for Trump is a betrayal of Mississippi's trust. We deserve leaders who uphold justice and integrity, not those who enable corruption. I'm that leader! Vote #TyPinkinsForUSSenate

I support women's healthcare rights and bodily autonomy, medicaid expansion, opportunities for the working class, and access to good paying jobs for all Mississippians. These are the issues that I will continue to advocate for in Washington, DC. #TyPinkinsForUSSenate #Mississippi

1/5 Reading about the Justice Department's lawsuit against the Mississippi Senate for discriminating against a Black attorney is both troubling and unacceptable. Paying someone half of what their white colleagues make for the same job isn't just unfair, . .
