Lobbying and Government Relations 2020

None carry a bigger stick at the Capitol among Democrats in terms of education policy, and even among some Republicans, than Nancy Loome.

As co-founder and executive director of The Parents’ Campaign and president of The Parents’ Campaign Research and Education Fund Loome whips legislators into shape and brings voices along with her to help pass or kill legislation her group targets. Her influence is felt most within the Legislature’s Education Committees where she advocates for adequate funding, fends off school privatization efforts, and champions legislation to improve and expand access to early childhood education.

Nancy has been widely recognized for her leadership and advocacy in education, including awards from the Mississippi Association of Educators, the Mississippi School Boards Association, the Mississippi Association of School Administrators, the Mississippi Association of School Superintendents, and the Mississippi Parent-Teacher Association. As a parent of three, she spent many years volunteering in classrooms, PTOs, and booster organizations, and was a school, district, and statewide Parent of the Year.
