(Jackson, MS) Mississippi Center for Public Policy Named Finalist for National Bob Williams Award
The Mississippi Center for Public Policy (MCPP) has been selected as a finalist for the prestigious Bob Williams Award for Outstanding Policy Achievement in the “Biggest Home State Win” category.
This national recognition, awarded by the State Policy Network, honors MCPP’s pivotal role in successfully advocating for the elimination of Mississippi’s income tax.
“We are deeply honored to be named a finalist for this distinguished award, jointly with Empower Mississippi,” said Douglas Carswell, President and CEO of MCPP. “Our team led the charge for income tax reduction and eventual elimination through innovative tax triggers, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see our vision become law with the passage of HB1.”
The incremental reduction of the income tax, which started a couple of years ago, is already driving economic growth, attracting significant investment, and enhancing Mississippi’s competitiveness.
“This reform is a major victory for every Mississippi taxpayer,” Carswell added.
The winner will be determined by a vote of those attending the State Policy Network’s 33rd Annual Meeting in New Orleans in late August.
MCPP has a proven track record of transforming policy ideas into impactful legislation. In addition to income tax elimination, recent successes include school funding reform, red tape reduction, labor market reforms, and legislation to tackle DEI ideology.
