For All Mississippi

It was my greatest honor to be sworn in as Mississippi’s 65th Governor on January 14, 2020.

Standing before all of Mississippi, I promised that this administration would be an administration for all Mississippi. That I would defend the loving culture that underpins our quality of life and work to grow an economy that lifts all of our families. I am determined to honor that promise.

I am asking today for you to join me in that mission. We must care about each other enough to overcome our differences. We must be faithful to each other enough to outlast our shortcomings. And we must be committed to each other enough to raise our expectations.

When I took that first oath of office as State Treasurer in 2003, I did not know how long my service would last. All I knew is that you, the people of Mississippi, had demonstrated a faith in me that I might never be able to meet.

I have never underestimated your trust. I have never forgotten the oath to pursue service with the help of our God. And I will wake up every day working to bring us together to make our state be all it can be. Work that will be done by all of Mississippi.

Excited to have Riley Gaines, Paula Scanlan, and Independent Women’s Voice here in Mississippi today! Riley and Paula are world class athletes who were forced to compete with biological men.

They’re helping us craft legislation that will ensure our state stands with women. In Mississippi, we will not give in to the radical gender ideology that seeks to erase them.

Thank you Governor.

The only one needing to be erased is Tater.

This one will get the lefties fired up.

Well at least you got the gender situation at attention but you still bailed on the bribery over a flag from the SEC

Thank you, Tate.

Tate is to women in the same way McDonald's is to Chickens

I thought the law forbids sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination in the state of Mississippi.

The backwards Mississippi hats say it all.

great girls, make a difference.

Always selling the fear of others Tater ; nothing ever good came of those who banned books and banned people who don’t look like pray like or vote like they do

👏🏼 💪🏼 😊

Spinning more bullshit.. how refreshing, Not

🤣🤣🤣

Yet you are erasing women's rights.....

Ok but Mississippi isn’t losing its hospitals due to gender identity problems and cultural wars. mississippitoday.org/2023/07/24/mississippi-rural-hospitals-new-report/

Where there's too much money and politics pumped into overrated sporting events 🙄

Tate Reeves your obsession with other people's genitalia is more than a little disturbing and should be thoroughly investigated. Every conservative accusation is a confession. Stop defending misogyny and anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes. ACLU ACLU of Mississippi Human Rights Campaign HRC Mississippi The Trevor Project www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-redefined-the-idea-of-2-sexes-is-overly-simplistic1/

Tate Reeves stop using women as an excuse to spew hateful, dangerous anti-LGBTQ+ lies, propaganda, and fear mongering. Transgender men aren't women. Stop using misogyny and anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes as an excuse to pretend to care about women and girls. As a woman, I fibd it extremely disgusting that you're using women and girls as an excuse to bully and harass the LGBTQ+ community. There are so many real problems to worry about in Mississippi. Grow up and stop hiding behind women and girls as an excuse to defend fragile masculinity.

Thank you Governor!

Thank you Governor Reeves!

Don’t let Tater Tot’s pretend culture war distract you from his myriad failures as governor

Did you see that a woman played on the JSU men football team? Discrimination.

Tate Reeves commercials are full of lies. Teachers did NOT get over $6,000 pay raise !!!!!! False !!!!?
