PRESS STATEMENT ON CALLED SPECIAL SESSION

This statement may be attributed to the Democratic Leadership in the Mississippi Legislature including Mississippi House Minority Leader Rep. Robert Johnson, Mississippi Senate Minority Leader Senator Derrick T. Simmons, Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus Rep. Kabir Karriem, and Mississippi Democratic Party Chairman Rep. Cheikh Taylor:

“The Governor’s statement on the special session to address youth courts suggests broad agreement on legislation that Democratic members have neither seen nor been meaningfully engaged in negotiating.

“Legislators have a constitutional duty to review legislation, ask questions, offer amendments when necessary, and ensure that any proposal truly serves the people of Mississippi. That responsibility does not disappear because a special session has been called.

“The constituents we represent do not expect us to rubber stamp legislation we have not had the opportunity to thoroughly review.

“If this proposal strengthens protections for abused and neglected children, improves our youth court system, and better serves Mississippi families, then it deserves careful consideration. But consideration requires transparency, collaboration, and access to the legislative language—not assumptions about how members will vote.

“Democrats remain committed to doing what we have always done and will continue to do: reading legislation, listening to stakeholders, debating the merits, and voting in the best interests of Mississippi’s children and families — not based on press releases, social media, or political expectations.”
