Over a year has passed since I embarked on this journey to run for U.S. Senate. Driven by a commitment to integrity, selfless service, and responsibility, I stand firmer in my belief that change is imperative.
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

. Your bravery, sacrifice, and dedication inspires us. Let's honor these heroes and their families for safeguarding our freedom. 🇺🇸
Thank you to all of our supporters! While we may not have won this particular race, our mission is far from over. Advocacy for comprehensive voter rights remains paramount, and I remain committed to pushing for reforms that strengthen our democracy.
My time serving in our armed forces has instilled in me an unwavering commitment to duty, honor, and the welfare of Mississippians. The values and leadership skills I’ve cultivated in the military are directly translatable to the responsibilities of the Secretary of State.
Tales from the Trail: I’ve covered 83 miles for Women's Reproductive Freedom, Quality Affordable Healthcare, and Better Jobs & a Stronger Economy. I’m still going strong! From Highway 61, near Alligator, MS. Every step on this journey helps pave the way for a brighter future!
As we move forward, let's stay focused on a brighter future for Mississippi. This journey's just starting; together, we'll bring change to Mississippi. The best is yet to come!

You never know who you'll bump into. Over twenty years ago, I was stationed in Germany. Today, amidst the hustle and bustle of the Picayune Street Festival, I unexpectedly encountered an old Army comrade SFC John Tricoche. It was truly delightful reconnecting with you today.

It is unacceptable that in certain counties in MS, the unemployment rate is almost triple the national average, and poverty rates soar as high as 39%, compared to the national rate of around 12%.

#TyPinkins
I invite Senator Wicker to meet me any place, anytime to debate. Mississippi voters deserve to know where their next U.S. Senator stands on the issues!
Mississippians work far too many hours for far too little pay. That's why I support legislation like the "Raise the Wage Act," which increases the federal minimum wage to $15/hour for all workers - including tipped workers and workers with disabilities.
I've kicked off my 800-mile Advocacy Run in Southaven, to champion Women's Reproductive Rights, Healthcare Accessibility, and Economic Development. If you see me around, you're welcome to join me in raising awareness about these important issues that most Mississippians face.
Sabrina and I attended the 60th Anniversary Commemorative Memorial Service, remembering Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, and Michael Schwerner. Their courage and sacrifice on June 21, 1964, in Philadelphia, Mississippi, continue to inspire us in the fight for justice and equality.
I had a wonderful conversation with Mayor Joe Jackson of Belzoni at the Catfish Festival. Access to quality healthcare remains a top concern for many Mississippians. This is my motivation for running – to address and resolve issues like this swiftly and effectively.

Sen. Roger Wicker voted against a crucial bipartisan border security bill, containing his own party's top priorities. He's clearly putting party over country. It's time for change. Support Ty Pinkins for U.S. Senate for a better Mississippi & America at

In the Military, we learn the importance of loyalty, duty, respect, service, honor, integrity, and personal courage.

Public school teachers deserve fair pay for their hard work. I support legislation like the "Pay Teachers Act," which would require states to establish a minimum annual salary of at least $60k/yr for full-time teachers. Join us in this fight at

Mississippi is, tragically, the toughest state to cast a vote in. Citizens are torn between voting and the essentials of life—between earning a day's wage and making their voices heard. Together, we can change this.
