For the last 12 years I've served as the Mayor for the Town of New Hebron, MS . In this time I've had a experience working with our State Legislature lobbying for the needs of small towns and communities. I understand the need for funding for Infrastructure:Water, Sewer, road and bridge, and fire protection. Our Senators should represent the whole district not just the big towns. We have a lot of work to bring our Education and Healthcare to a National standard Level.
- Fire Protection Funding for our rural fire departments
- Health Care, ambulance services, for our Rural District
- Education bringing it to a national standard, pay for teachers

Yes a veteran went to VA and his handicap Sticker needed replacement. The lady told him he had to walk clear across the facility to renew. He said Lady if I could walk over there I would not need a handicap sticker. For a veteran to give his time to serve his nation and was hurt and disabled that should never happen.

2011
On her campaign website, Bryan outlines her four top issues:[3]
- Jobs: “People are compromising in order to find a job just to make ends meet. A sound economic policy and the availability of a good education are the threshold of job creation. I will work tirelessly for a vibrant rural Mississippi.”
- Education: “We need to pay our teachers. The government has not sufficiently funded education for the last three years … we must find the funds to pay for this essential investment in the future.”
- Crime: “Crime reduction needs to stay on the short list of major issues in the legislature, since it affects our life, the future of the state, and our budget. While crime has improved, crime associated with drug manufacturing–particularly crystal meth– continues to spill over into other areas. As a start, we need a drug task force, and strict laws and judges.”
- Transportation: “We’ve made strides, but there’s still a long way to go."
