Public Employee Retirement System (P.E.R.S.)
Public Employee
Retirement System
(P.E.R.S.)
P.E.R.S. should be managed by the ten-member committee responsible for the fund’s management, growth, and disbursements. Some lawmakers have attempted to manipulate the fund and limit its capacity to meet the needs of our retired civil servants.
State employees pay, and have paid for many years, into the program and have earned the ability to access the full benefits of the program. As long as the fund is solvent and stable, Senator McMahan does not support any adjustments to the fund.
Education
Common Core has significantly impacted our school children, and it has created an environment of distrust between school officials and parents. Many teachers are frustrated with the implementation and strategies of the Common Core standards in the classroom. Parents distrust the program because they do not understand its goals, methods, or results. This is a formula for disaster. Education must be the top priority. We may need to go back to the basics as we work together to develop a curriculum that can be implemented efficiently and academically sustained. Education is best maintained at the local level.

Gun Rights
Senator McMahan is deeply concerned as he hears about gun control legislation being considered in Washington DC. In his opinion, the 2nd Amendment is the most important right in our Bill of Rights. Without the 2nd Amendment, none of the other rights are guaranteed. The founders of this Republic knew that a well armed citizenry would be the guardian of democracy and our Republic. Senator McMahan has proudly supported concealed carry and open carry legislation that allows all law abiding residents of Mississippi the opportunity to keep and bear arms.
