Newsletter: Across the District

Statement

Dear Friends,

My prayers and thoughts are with the people in DeSoto County who were affected by the heavy rainfall and flooding late last week. First responders, state and local officials, the media and Governor Bryant have been doing a great job providing up-to-date information and support during and after the storms. While damage assessments are being made, my team and I stand ready to help individuals, families, and businesses. Please do not hesitate to give us a call.

Academy Day 2014

As Academy Day 2014 approaches, I wanted to share some exciting news. Some of my first academy nominees will be at Academy Day 2014 to share their experiences: U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Matt Robbins from Tupelo, U.S. Military Academy (West Point) Cadet James Haworth from Corinth, and U.S. Naval Academy Midshipman David Duchaine from Oxford.

Other participants in this year's Academy Day include John Lewis the ROTC Program Director for the Mississippi Department of Education, ROTC representatives from Ole Miss and Mississippi State, and representatives from the Citadel.

As your Representative, it is my honor to nominate a limited number of people to four of the five military academies each year. High school students preparing for college and junior high school students are welcome to participate in Academy Day 2014. Feel free to share this opportunity with anyone you think may be interested, and please do not hesitate to contact the Tupelo office for further information.

Columbus

I am also pleased to announce that our Columbus office has a new team member. Please join me in welcoming Brent Thompson, District Field Representative and Caseworker. Originally from Hamilton, Brent is a graduate of Mississippi State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. He was previously a summer intern in my Washington, D.C. office. Brent's strong work ethic and passion for serving the community give me confidence that he will do an excellent job in his new role. Brent replaces Kelli Russell, who has moved on to graduate school at Mississippi State University.

Hernando

Lastly, after several years on East Commerce Street, the Hernando office has moved to the square. The new physical address is 2565 Caffey Street, #200.

Please stop by the new Hernando office or the offices in Columbus, Tupelo, or Washington, D.C. anytime. You are always welcome.

Here to help

My team and I are here to help. From navigating the bureaucracy of federal agencies, internship opportunities, assisting with your family trip to D.C., requesting flags to be flown over the U.S. Capitol, to military appointments, and more. It is an honor to serve you and the First District of Mississippi as your representative in Congress. Please let our team know how we can assist you.

Stay in touch and God bless,

Alan Nunnelee
