Angela Cockerham is an American politician currently serving as an Independent member of the Mississippi House of Representatives, representing the 96th district. Cockerham joined the Mississippi House appropriations committee in 2013.[1]
According to Cockerham, she doesn't cast votes based on her party affiliation but based upon her beliefs:[2]
"When I'm casting my vote, I'm voting my conscience, based upon what is in the best interest for my district and the state."
In its 2017 rankings of the members of the Mississippi legislature, the American Conservative Union (ACU) found Cockerham to be the most conservative Democrat in the House, with an overall rating of 56 percent (the average for Democratic representatives that year was 28 percent).[3]
