Pearl River County

And I'm, I'm voting against Cindy Hyde-Smith because of the condition to which we're in right now, and the lack of oversight of the Senate, her Senate, over the president.

When it comes to the fourth district of which I'm in, the South Mississippi, I call it the neck of Mississippi, that's below the 31st parallel, right? If-- Where-- What separates us from New Orleans, just above NASA, and once you get past, get to Poplarville, okay? And, uh, Pearl River County.

You go up to the 31st parallel, and there's a straight cut all the way across.

Below that is Louisiana, above that is McComb and Mississippi, okay? That's the 31st parallel.

A little bit to the west in Columbia, we have Hollenbeck or Hellenbeck, excuse me, and they manufacture firearms there, custom firearms.

In Pearl River County, we have some really high tech marine technology that's being manufactured.

manufactured there in DSC Dredge and then also Power Dynamics in Picayune.

They do some hydraulic systems for the offshore industry that are really cool.

All right, so Rebecca, your office is where? Where is your office?

I'm located in the Poplarville campus.

Technically, my area, my region is the Pearl River County and Hancock County region, so I work out of both of those campuses.

All right, all right.

But let's – we're here to talk with other folks.

I'm a state representative.

I represent District 108 down here on the coast in Pearl River County.

And before I ever ran, I had people coming to me and wanting me to run.

And there was an open house seat, but it wasn't in my district.

So, before... we left for our commercial break hashtag harrison from mayor um we were talking about some of the legislation that came up some stuff you're looking forward to next year and so just uh want to see if you go ahead and dive into all that and sure let's see what we talk about here

um One of the things that we've been dealing with, and I don't know about you and your area, but I'm sure some people in the state have had issues if they're in rural areas.

But here in Pearl River County, we had a huge issue with our water association, with our rural water association.

And there wasn't, the way the law was, there wasn't much oversight and accountability.
