Williams runs for governor on policies of healthcare, education reform
TUPELO • Velesha Williams is a newcomer to state politics, but she wants to perform an upset in the Democratic gubernatorial primary with a message of redirecting state funds toward repairing infrastructure and improving the state’s education and healthcare systems.
Williams, a former officer in the U.S. Army and a former public school educator, said she was enjoying retirement, but felt led to run for governor after feeling God tell her to run for the highest position in state politics.
The core message Williams is promoting is improving the lives of all Mississippians and bringing the state up from its last place rankings in education and healthcare.
“We have been at the bottom or near the bottom for decades,” she said. “In my book, that’s a definition of failed leadership, and we can do better. And I tell folks, regardless of your political affiliation, I believe you can agree that Mississippi can do better. We must do better.”
