Democratic
Mississippi
Key dates
Full six-year term
Health care
“We have to cancel the health care cuts. We have to raise taxes 3 percent on people making more than $600,000 a year to pay for Mississippians to continue to have health insurance, and to save our hospitals”
Seniors & aging
“I oppose privatization, period. Social Security is not a bet, and Mississippians who paid in their whole working lives shouldn’t have their retirement riding on the market.”
Taxes & revenue
“The honest fix is the one nobody in Washington wants to say out loud: right now, income above a certain level stops being taxed for Social Security. We should ask the highest earners to contribute their part.”
Elections & campaigns
“We have Voter ID in Mississippi and, you know, I think it works well. I think we have to, my position is everybody needs to get access to a free ID very easily. You know, I do think that we need to make sure we have secure elections, but the best way to do is make sure everybody has access to an ID without cost.”
Labor & employment
“I’m a capitalist. One of the few things government can do to increase wages is to raise the floor. And so, I think it’s time we raise the floor.”
Immigration
Work to secure the border and enforce our immigration laws
Government operations
Scott supports a full ban on stock trading by members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children, requiring them to divest or move their holdings into a blind trust, with real-time public disclosure so voters can see whose interests they’re protecting.
