MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) -On Thursday, Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann stopped by WTOK in downtown Meridian to discuss the upcoming legislative session.

In July, he spoke at the Neshoba County Fair, discussing his top priorities when political leaders return to Jackson in January. He hopes to improve the state’s handling of education, military support, and boost labor force participation, while investing in Mississippi families. He also spoke highly on Mississippi’s successful leadership and plans to continue to run state government-like business.

“Mississippi is in the best shape it’s ever been in. Our education system is working with our transportation system. They were redoing the road on 20 over here today. Our economics, our gross domestic product are all one of the nation’s living our GDP growth. We have huge new businesses coming out only here in Columbus, Jackson, and Madison, all over. We’ve never been in the shape we’ve been,” Lt. Gov. Hosemann says.
