Voters are poised to nominate incumbent Gov. Tate Reeves and Democratic Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley to face off in the general election this fall. The Republican Party currently has a majority in the state, holding the offices of governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and both chambers of the state legislature. The GOP has had a hold on the Mississippi governorship for the past 20 years, but a change may be on the horizon.
“Tate Reeves has taken over $480,000 from health insurance and big drug companies, and he’s done their bidding by keeping healthcare costs high while Mississippians struggle to get the care they need to stay healthy,” Presley said. “As a man of faith who is pro-life, I’ve never once had an issue disagreeing with my party when they’re wrong, so I’ll be clear: I don’t think boys should be playing against girls, and girls shouldn’t be playing against boys,” Presley told Mississippi Today last month."I don’t think minors should be getting surgery to change their gender.”
Presley is focusing his campaign on fixing the state’s economy, which he believes is harming the middle class and the poor while contributing to the wealthy.The Democrat who has no problem crossing party lines announced his run for governor in January.
