David Blount represents District 29 (Hinds County including Byram, Terry, and parts of Jackson and Clinton) in the Mississippi Senate.

David took office in January 2008. Before being elected, he served thirteen years at the Secretary of State's Office, most recently as a top aide to former Secretary of State Eric Clark. He is an 8th generation Mississippian who grew up in Hinds County.

David's top priorities are strengthening public education in Mississippi and making our neighborhoods safer by fighting crime. He is also the lead author of the Mississippi Armed Forces Absentee Voting Act, signed into law by Gov. Haley Barbour in 2010 and the "Blue Alert" law passed in 2011 to protect law enforcement officers injured in the line of duty.

Sheriff Malcolm McMillin has said about David's work in the Legislature: "Senator Blount has done more for law enforcement than any first-term legislator I have ever seen."

Senator Blount is among the leading voices in the Senate for our schools. He has a 100% voting record with The Parents' Campaign, Mississippi's leading parent organization that started in Clinton and now promotes quality public education across Mississippi.

Dr. Tommye C. Henderson (Former Superintendent - Clinton Public Schools; Assistant Professor - Mississippi College) has said: "Senator David Blount has shown himself to be a man of integrity, a staunch supporter of quality education, and an advocate for students and for educators. He can be counted on to support legislation which will strengthen educational programs and which will positively affect students and teachers."
