Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS-2) spent last week focused on rural health care, maternity care, Head Start and the rising cost of everyday necessities for families across Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District. 🏛️
Mississippi’s 2nd District remains one of the lowest-income congressional districts in the country. Census data show a median household income of about $47,500, while more than one-quarter of residents live below the poverty line. Health care access and household costs therefore remain particularly significant issues across a district that includes much of the Mississippi Delta and portions of the Jackson metropolitan area.
