TATE REEVES
A MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
As Republicans, we believe in faith, free speech, the Second Amendment, the right to life, lower taxes, secure borders, and limited government. Unlike Democrats, we don’t believe the Constitution is just a piece of paper. We believe it is the foundation that helped make the United States the greatest country in history.
As Governor, my top priority has been and will always be to ensure Mississippi is the best state to live, worship, work, and raise a family. The Mississippi Republican Party has been instrumental in helping to accomplish this mission.
The Mississippi Republican Party is on the frontlines defending our state from radical leftists, cancel culture, open borders, and socialist economic policies. Our organization is comprised of Mississippians who are unwavering in the support of freedom and conservative values, and I am proud to serve alongside them.
No matter the obstacles the radical left may put in front of us, the Mississippi Republican Party will never back down from protecting the culture that makes our state great. But we can’t do it alone. We need your help.
With your support, we will preserve our values, ensure Mississippi’s long-term success, and make our state an even better place for future generations.
Get involved. Stay active. Vote Republican.
Join me in keeping Mississippi Red.
To preserving liberty,
Governor Tate Reeves
