Tate Reeves puts on impressive show of political force with 200 publicly elected officials endorsing

By: Magnolia Tribune - July 23, 2015

Republican Elected Leaders Support Re-Election of Lt. Gov. Reeves

More than 200 GOP elected officials today endorsed Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves’ bid for re-election. Lt. Gov. Reeves also has the support of Republican Senators, Mayors and Sheriffs from around the state.

“Tate has fought for tax cuts and workforce training initiatives that will grow our economy, and he listens to what local communities need,” said Lowndes County Supervisor Harry Sanders. “For Lowndes County, cutting the inventory tax directly impacted our ability to add jobs and increase investment in our communities. His leadership is helping to grow the state’s economy.”

Lt. Gov. Reeves successfully pushed for the elimination of the inventory tax on small businesses, a reduction in the unemployment tax and making the tax appeal process fairer for Mississippi taxpayers.

“I support Tate because he lived up to his word,” said Lincoln County Chancery Clerk Tillman Bishop. “He said he would balance the budget and cut wasteful spending, and he did. He’s working to right-size government in Jackson.”

Lt. Gov. Reeves said he appreciated the support before the Aug. 4 primary.

“I am grateful for the enthusiasm we’ve seen around the state for the conservative, fiscally responsible policies we’re putting into action,” Lt. Gov. Reeves said. “Together, Republicans are making Mississippi the best state in America to grow a business and raise a family.”

Republican officials endorsing Lt. Gov. Reeves ahead of the Aug. 4 primary include:
