LAUREL — Mississippi State Treasurer Tate Reeves said Wednesday that comments made against his campaign by State Sen. Billy Hewes (R-Gulfport) earlier this week were “unfortunate.”

Reeves and Hewes are both seeking the open Lt. Governor position. Current Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant is a Republican candidate for Mississippi Governor.

“It’s unfortunate my opponent has resorted to such negative attacks,” Reeves said. “People do things you wish they wouldn’t do.”
