Republican Candidates Turn To Tea Party For Support

MADISON, Miss. — With fewer than two months to go until the primary, some Republican candidates are turning to the Tea Party for support.

Republican candidates for the lieutenant governor position tried to set themselves apart Monday night in front of a group of people who think government spends too much.
“I’m a conservative, fiscal and social conservative,” said Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, Sen. Billy Hewes.

“I have a record of being a true fiscal conservative,” said State Treasurer Tate Reeves, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor. “I was elected to work for the taxpayers.”
