About Commissioner Stamps

De'Keither Stamps is a Mississippi native, a decorated military veteran, and a dedicated public servant whose life has been shaped by resilience, leadership, and a profound commitment to service. Raised in Jackson, Mississippi, and on his family's farm in Learned, Stamps developed a deep connection to his community that continues to guide his work. After graduating from Forest Hill High School, he answered the call to serve his country, beginning his military career with the U.S. Marine Corps and later re-enlisting in the Army during the Iraq War.

Over his years of service, Stamps took on extraordinary roles, including Presidential Security Guard for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and served in various capacities with the U.S. State Department. His experience in Iraq, where he led a 17-man unit in ground patrols, solidified his leadership skills and shaped his approach to community advocacy.

Transitioning from global service to local leadership, Stamps was elected to the Jackson City Council, where he championed key initiatives in education, economic development, and community revitalization for Ward 4. His dedication to public service continued as he became the Mississippi State Representative for District 66, advocating for his constituents and addressing critical issues facing the state. Today, as Public Service Commissioner for Mississippi's Central District, he leverages his extensive experience to improve the state's infrastructure, energy efficiency, and overall quality of life.

A devoted father to three daughters—Jasmine, Kristian, and Kennedi—Stamps’ personal commitment to family is central to his life. His favorite quote, "It is impossible to stop a man that just won't quit," embodies his relentless pursuit of progress for Mississippi and its people. De'Keither Stamps is a figure shaped by global service, tested by conflict, and driven by an unwavering dedication to his community and the State of Mississippi.
