WTOK – Possible candidates for governor speak at Neshoba Co. Fair
DAILY JOURNAL – Hood, Reeves preview possible governor’s race
Speaking at the Neshoba County Fair, Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said Mississippi is thriving under GOP leadership, while Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood said the state economy is faltering as Republicans give tax cuts to out-of-state corporations.
The current governor, Republican Phil Bryant, is limited to two terms and can’t run again next year.
Hood said even as Republican lawmakers have tried to block lawsuits by the attorney general’s office, those lawsuits have brought the state about $3 billion over the past 14 years.
“Give or take a few million dollars here or there, I guess it’s enough to pave somebody’s driveway,” Hood said, causing a murmur in the audience of casually dressed people under the tin-roofed pavilion on the fairgrounds south of Philadelphia.

MSGOP chair calls out Democrat Evans Neshoba speech
If a Republican said what Democrat Michael Evans said today, it would be front-page news, complete with an editorial and cartoon. But the media says it was the best speech of the Fair? This sort of double standard just gets us conservatives going. Y’all keep it up.
