Hood releases new ad on Reeves’ ‘scare tactics’
Tate Reeves resorts to scare tactics to hide the fact that he has no plan to help the working families of Mississippi. I’m not for taxes—I’m for a clean-running Mississippi that puts hard-working folks first, not special interests. Take a look at our newest ad out today. #MSgov pic.twitter.com/frPVA5e5gd

CLARION LEDGER – Hood, Reeves call each other unethical. Here’s what to know about their claims
Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and Attorney General Jim Hood have adopted similar messages as they fight to become Mississippi’s next governor: The other guy is unethical or has conflicts of interest. Vote for me instead.
But they may cancel each other out. Both Hood, a Democrat, and Reeves, a Republican, have long faced criticism over their actions surrounding campaign finance, state contracts and pet projects.
Most recently, the candidates traded attacks about a frontage road, a television ad and lucrative state contracts for trial lawyers. And in most cases, their claims are accurate.

WAPT – Secretary of State nominees differ on expanding early voting
The Republican nominee, state Sen. Michael Watson, said he sees no need to change the system.
The Democratic nominee, former Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree, said he supports expansion of early voting to get more people involved in the election process.
DuPree and Watson spoke Monday at a forum sponsored by Mississippi State University’s Stennis Institute of Government and the Capitol Press Corps. Both said they support efforts to educate people about voting.
