Our View: Building a bench of elected officials (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The path from Columbus and Lowndes County to the state legislature has rarely included those with experience in local government. Over the past 50 years, Columbus and Lowndes County have elected a veterinarian, an insurance company owner, a convenience store owner, a rancher, a schoolteacher, a restaurateur, a high school administrator, three attorneys, a real estate agent and a YMCA director to the legislature.

In 2014, a largely unheralded redshirt junior from Sulphur, La., took over as Mississippi State’s starting quarterback, signaling the most successful period in B

Riley Yates and her twin brother, Robert Antoine Yates Jr., were born three months premature. Robert died soon after birth. Riley was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and spent her first year in the hospital. At age 5, Riley suffered a series of strokes and was diagnosed with hydrocephalus – a condition where excess fluid builds up within the brain, increasing pressure inside the skull. The condition left her using a wheelchair. “My life changed that day,” said her mother, Eboney Clark Yates, of St
