## Legislative record

In 2013, Harris endorsed Governor Bobby Jindal's decision to withdraw a plan to increase sales taxes while at the same time repealing the state income tax. Jindal dropped the plan after opposition surfaced in public opinion polls and among legislators. "While repeal is off the table for this legislative session, we will continue to work on the issue so that we can craft a responsible way to achieve our objectives in reforming the tax code in the future," Harris said.
In May 2016, he wrote an amendment to Louisiana's hate crime statue, adding protections for police officers and firefighters who are targeted based on their profession. The amendment was signed into law by Governor John Bel Edwards.

Her mother was the Bolivar County Circuit Clerk, the first African American since Reconstruction to serve that post. Simmons attended Cleveland High School and graduated from Alcorn State University with a bachelor's in education and psychology.

## Career

Simmons has worked as the general manager for the family-owned restaurant, The Senator's Place, which is located in Cleveland, Mississippi. When her father didn't file for re-election for the 13th district, she decided to run. The district encompasses parts of Bolivar, Sunflower, and Tallahatchie counties.

# Robert Foster (politician)

Robert Dolton Foster (born April 8, 1983) is an American politician from the state of Mississippi. A Republican, he served in the Mississippi House of Representatives. He was an unsuccessful candidate for governor of Mississippi in the 2019 election.

## Political career

Foster was first elected to the Mississippi House in November 2015. In 2017, Foster authored the current Mississippi death penalty law, which allows for executions by gas chamber, electrocution, and firing squad. Foster also introduced legislation in 2017 that would have “remove[d] affirmative action, multiculturalism and sanctuary of illegal alien students” from public universities in the state, though the bill didn't pass.
Foster runs Cedar Hill Farm, an agritourism business in DeSoto County, Mississippi. During the 2019 Mississippi gubernatorial election, Foster portrayed himself as a conservative outsider aligned with Donald Trump.
As a gubernatorial candidate, Foster's support for Medicaid expansion received criticism from fellow Mississippi Republican Chris McDaniel. Foster explained his support by arguing:
   "We're sticking our head in the sand because we don't like the policy of Obamacare. I think it's bad policy. The ACA is bad policy that had a lot of flaws, but it is the law of the land, and Mississippi is going to have to do what's in our best interest until that law is changed in Washington."

## Controversies
### 2019 journalist controversy

Foster received national attention in July 2019 when he refused to allow a female journalist from Mississippi Today to interview him alone, which she said constituted sexism. Foster said that his position was grounded in a fear that he could be accused of being in an "inappropriate relationship" if he was seen alone with a woman other than his wife, something he called the Billy Graham rule.

### 2022 call to execute trans rights supporters

On March 24, 2022, Foster tweeted that trans rights supporters should be executed by firing squad. When confronted by fellow Republican Spencer Ritchie, he called him a RINO who has conceded power to communists. Foster also said that executing trans rights supporters would be an early divine judgment.
# Mount Thompson (Alberta)

Mount Thompson is a 3,089-metre (10,135-foot) mountain summit located four kilometres west of Bow Lake in Banff National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. Its nearest higher peak is Mount Baker, 5.0 km (3.1 mi) to the west. Mount Thompson is situated east of the Wapta Icefield, and is a member of the Waputik Mountains. Mount Thompson can be seen from the Icefields Parkway at Bow Lake.

## History

Mount Thompson is named for Charles Sproull Thompson (1869–1921) who participated in numerous first ascents in the Canadian Rockies. In August 1897, Charles Thompson, Hugh Stutfield, and J. Norman Collie camped on the shores of Bow Lake; then proceeded to climb the Bow Glacier, which at that time descended farther down into the valley; then crossed the Wapta Icefield to attain the summit of Mount Gordon. From Mount Gordon they were surrounded by unnamed mountains and named one of them Mount Thompson. The first ascent of Mount Thompson was made the following year (1898), by Norman Collie, Hugh Stutfield, and Herman Woolley. The mountain's name became official in 1928 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Charles Thompson named Portal Peak which is a subsidiary peak located 1.5 km southeast of his peak. Portal Peak flanks one side of Bow Glacier, which in 1897 was considered the portal to the Wapta Icefield.

## Geology

Mount Thompson is an overthrust peak situated between the Bow Glacier and Peyto Glacier. Like other mountains in Banff Park, Mount Thompson is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods. Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.

## Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Thompson is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Temperatures can drop below -20 °C with wind chill factors below -30 °C. Precipitation runoff from Mount Thompson drains into the Bow River which is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River.

# Ebenezer Bryce

Ebenezer Bryce (November 17, 1830 – September 26, 1913) was a Mormon pioneer, best known as the person for whom Bryce Canyon National Park was named.

## Early life

Bryce was born in the town of Dunblane in the then unitary council area of Perth and Kinross, which is today located in the Stirling council area of Scotland. He became a ship's carpenter, converted his faith to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and left Scotland for Utah at the age of seventeen. Ebenezer was the only member of his family to convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and was disowned by his father.

## Pine Valley

Bryce married Mary Park in Salt Lake City in 1854. They moved to southern Utah by 1862, and settled in Pine Valley where Bryce was responsible for designing and overseeing the building of the Pine Valley Chapel in 1868, the oldest chapel still in continuous use by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The chapel is unique in that the roof was built like an upside down ship hull using a technique that Bryce acquired as a shipbuilder in Scotland. The walls of the chapel were assembled on the ground and hoisted up to the rhythm of a Scottish shipbuilding song sung by Ebenezer. The chapel is well maintained and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. While in Pine Valley, Ebenezer also ran a sawmill for lumber for the construction of the St. George Temple.

## Bryce Canyon

Soon after, the family moved a short distance to the Paria Valley, south of Bryce Canyon, which became a National Monument in 1923 and a full-fledged National Park in 1928.

## Arizona

In 1880, Bryce moved his large family to an area of Arizona, about two miles north of Pima, where the settlement of Bryce, Arizona is named in his honor. It was there that he died and is buried in a local cemetery. Ebenezer built two homes in Arizona, both currently under restoration by the Ebenezer Bryce Foundation.
