Cut Taxes and Balance the Budget

The people of south Mississippi want a government that’s fiscally sane. Washington D.C. needs to spend less instead

of charging taxpayers more. As a country, we must have a balanced budget amendment! It’s the only way to reign in D.C. spending. In the Mississippi Legislature, I’ve sponsored bills calling for a federal balanced budget amendment. We live within our means in our state, we can do it as a country. As your Congressman, I will continue the fight to achieve a balanced budget.

Defend the Second Amendment

As prosecutor I saw crime firsthand. I can tell you the answer to stopping crime is NOT to take away guns from law-abiding citizens.

The 2nd Amendment gives us a fundamental right to protect ourselves. Our forefathers knew the importance of the right to keep and bear arms, and my family and I are lifelong gun owners. I support the 2nd amendment where it counts: in our day to day lives, where seconds matter. In 2020, I had one of the highest ratings from the NRA at 92%. As Senator, I voted many times to increase gun rights for Mississippians, and I’ll continue to be a fierce defender of our 2nd Amendment rights in Congress.

Immigration

I believe we need to secure our border so we can properly manage the increasing number of immigrants trying to get into our country.

Human trafficking, drug violence, and threats to our safety are predictable consequences of the current administration’s approach. America is a beacon of hope for people around the world. But we only reach our potential when immigration is done legally. Biden’s mismanagement and Congress’s refusal to act on this issue have created one of the worst humanitarian crises in our nation’s history. As your Congressman I will push to fix this problem once and for all.

Stand up for Our Law Enforcement and Fight for Real Criminal Justice Reform

Law enforcement and first responders all across the country are under attack from the liberal left. Citizens of all ages have a right to be

safe in their communities. As a prosecutor, I put murderers in prison. As a State Senator, I fought to fund bullet-proof vests for police, fought for more funds for our crime labs and fought for tougher laws on child abusers and illegal gangs. I will never back down in my commitment to safer communities for South Mississippi. We need leadership in Congress that will always support our law enforcement community.

Protecting the Rights of the Unborn

Joe Biden recently stated that being ‘Pro-life is un-American.’ He’s stripping federal protections for unborn babies and is both ignorant on

what it really means to be an American and is just plain wrong! Our country was founded on individual rights, and individual rights extend to the unborn. As your State Senator, I proudly stood in the Mississippi Senate and voted for Mississippi’s anti-abortion law that is now a model for our nation. I fully support our state’s efforts to overturn Roe v Wade. It’s one of the worst constitutional decisions to come out of the U.S. Supreme Court. I’m glad to have been out front in our state efforts to overturn this decision and to protect the rights of unborn Mississippians. As your Congressman, I will continue this fight in D.C.

Transparency and Corruption

I am sick and tired of the self-dealing and self-interest of many of the politicians we see in and out of our state. The D.C. swamp is even

attempting to take over our own 4th Congressional District. We should all be angry that our own member of Congress is under investigation for misappropriating funds as well as using his position to provide unethical and immoral favors to family and friends. As your Congressman, I assure you I will not give in to the self-dealing and corrupt interests in D.C.

Fight Government Overreach and other Job Killing Regulations

We are being regulated to death. Government bureaucracy is out of control and involved in every aspect of our lives. We know how to run our

businesses and what is best for our families and communities. We have to say no to the empty government promises that continue to draw us down the path of government reliance. We have to say yes to the true principles of democracy: Less government and more private sector involvement. Our current leaders in D.C. apparently can’t stand up to big government, but I can and I have.

The Importance of Early Education

Early childhood education is the foundation for building more successful communities. By investing resources and time in our children,

we can give them the tools to be successful and spark them to become the leaders of tomorrow. As soon as I was elected to the Mississippi State Senate, I took action. In 2013, the Mississippi legislature passed my Early Learning Collaborative bill, and Mississippi is now ranked Top 5 nationally in early childhood education. How did I do it? With a bottom-up, conservative approach that maximized public-private partnerships. It’s this kind of creative thinking and tenacity to get things done that I want to take to Congress for you.

Economic Recovery and Resiliency

In South Mississippi we know all about disasters. Our resilience overcoming them makes us who we are. And in the wake of these challenges, I’ve

fought to keep recovery money meant for South Mississippi, IN South Mississippi. I fought for 3 years to ensure BP dollars remained on the Gulf Coast. I was a lead architect of the law that now directs hundreds of millions of dollars to the Gulf Coast. I want to put this experience to work for you in Congress.

Foreign policy

I know the difference between an ally and an adversary. It is essential that our leadership in DC knows the same.

Biden is negotiating with the Taliban and his administration is opposing the interests of our ally, Israel. This is unacceptable. Leaders in Washington need to learn how to deal with our adversaries and support our allies. We must stand strong against the push by both China and Russia to exploit weakness in the current administration. As your Congressman I will advocate for a strong America first foreign policy.

Environment and Natural Resources

I’m Senator Brice Wiggins, and I’m proud to be from South Mississippi! I grew up on the Pascagoula River and the Mississippi Sound.

My grandfather worked most of his life for International Paper. I know the resources of the Pine Belt. I’ve worked hard as a state Senator to protect these precious assets while allowing smart economic development. As your Congressman I will continue this work to ensure that we all work together to sustain the beauty as well as the recreational and economic benefits of these resources for generations to come.

Fight Obamacare Expansion

As Senate Medicaid Chairman for four years, I saw firsthand the sprawling and bureaucratic nightmare that is Medicaid.

During that time, I successfully fought calls by the left for expansion of Obamacare. We cannot let those who need healthcare go without, but we also cannot cripple our world-class healthcare system by turning it over to the government. We must find conservative solutions to healthcare accessibility and affordability. As your Congressman, I will fight to keep government programs in check while supporting innovative policies that provide quality healthcare to our state’s neediest citizens.

Rightsizing Government and Real Congressional Leadership

Checks and balances and separation of powers might sound like a 6th grade history class, but they are lessons I haven’t forgotten and are ones

that our current leadership in DC needs to learn. Congress needs to step up and do its job as the voice of the people and should never cede its authority to other branches. The President and the Courts have their jobs, but it’s essential that Congress stick to its job. The President’s overreach into legislative affairs, with his unprecedented executive orders, is a constant threat to our country. I will fight Presidential overreach as your Congressman and will restore our Founders’ vision of a strong legislative branch.

Protect and Honor Our Veterans

Our nation’s veterans have sacrificed for our country. Sadly, suicide among veterans is at epidemic levels. Our veterans deserve the benefits

and healthcare they’ve earned. My father and grandfather served. You can count on me to fight for our veterans. They have given their lives for our freedoms. I will honor that every day.

Afghanistan Withdrawal

At one time, our strategic interests were served by being in Afghanistan. But, after 20 years, withdrawing was the right decision.

The execution though was a foreign policy disaster. President Harry Truman said, “the buck stops here.” President Biden owns this failure. As your Congressman, I will hold each and every President accountable for their actions on the world stage.

Make Mississippi Relevant in the Country and the World

At one time, South Mississippi was the jewel of our State. We had conservative leadership in Washington that made us proud. We expect much

from those we send to D.C. Sadly, the current representative isn’t living up to these standards, and it’s time to return to integrity and true public service. South Mississippi is the fastest growing area of our state, possessing all of the people, industry, resources and tools to stand out and prosper, but we need leadership that will leverage these assets to get things done. As your Congressman, I will make you proud and will make us relevant again.

Make Public Service Attractive to Young People Again

Young people need to see honest and honorable people leading our country — not for personal benefit but for public service, commitment to

our country, and a vision for a better America for everyone. It’s critical to be a positive example of what true leadership looks like. It’s certainly NOT being part of a Squad or group of members of Congress who use their positions to seek attention instead of working to make the world a better place. I’ve always strived to be that role model who inspires young people to serve, and I will continue to do so in D.C.

Economic Development

South Mississippi is the envy of our state when it comes to jobs and the economy. I have always pushed hard for economic development from

Hattiesburg and the Pine Belt down to the Coast. We have the businesses, we have the workforce and we have a diversified base to continue to bring in better jobs, better pay and better educational opportunities. We are poised to move to the next level. But, we need the right leadership in Congress to get us there.

Election Reform

Our nation’s very existence depends on the peoples’ confidence in our elections. It’s a cornerstone of our republic.

Mississippi has some of the most secure elections in our country because we did it right from the start. As your Congressman it will be my job to stand up against all fraud and any effort that threatens our electoral process, no matter where it exists in our country. Every vote in America must be handled in a way in which we all have 100% confidence. As your Congressman, I will fight to restore confidence in our elections.

Servant Leadership

Here in South Mississippi, we raise our families and build our businesses. We work hard and put our faith in family and God.

I am humbled to have had the opportunity to represent the great people of Jackson County and the interests of South Mississippi. I’m proud to fight for our true conservative values every day. You work hard and deserve honest and faithful public servants, ones who put you above themselves — not ones who have succumbed to the temptations of power, access and money. I’ve dedicated my time in the Legislature, with God’s help, to being a “servant leader.” “Servant leaders”. . . . . Protect, Secure, Listen and LEAD In short, they sacrifice their natural desires and temptations for the good of those they serve! I didn’t run for the Senate to get rich; rather, it was with a genuine desire to fight to improve the lives and future of all Mississippians. I, as you are, am sick and tired of the self-dealing and self-interest of many of the politicians we see, including our own. I’m also sick and tired of what I see coming out of DC: the socialist agenda and the attacks on our valued institutions, like our law-enforcement and first responders. Together we CAN fight corruption, we CAN help families and small businesses, we CAN fight for those less fortunate, including the unborn, and we CAN demand that public officials serve honorably and truthfully with a servant leader’s heart. With God’s help, I can. With your help, we will.
