Response
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.

Governor Reeves Issues New Comprehensive Safe Recovery Order in Ongoing Effort to Flatten the Curve
74% of the voters thought we had won Medical Marijuana and yet here we are. 🙄😕
I'm just curious how we attracted this business? Did they get tax incentives? (Corporate welfare.) Or were they promised a low wage workforce in a "right to work" state?
Make people work or take COVID vaccine to receive any benefits
That Nissan looks very similar to a Toyota.
You never mention what the State had to give to Nissan to move the plant here. Have we the taxpayers even made a dent in that debt yet?

How much in taxes do they pay?
Cannabis industry could have had thousands of jobs here, as well, before the government took 74% of voter's voices away for possibly years going at this rate we see now. Now you want to gut what we voted for while you hold back calling a special election? Get voted out, Reeves. I can't wait.
Just asking - how many of them are hire-backs?
Tate Reeves I’m the Fire Chief of the Holly Bluff Volunteer fire department. Which I met you in 2019 during the backwater flood. And I’m also in the trucking business. And my business model is hauling auto parts so that’s really good news for me also.
Where is your investment in Delta area of the state. We pay taxes too.
Please do a PSA encouraging covid vaccinations. Do you like always being last. Come on. Get out there and do something. Speak up.
In my Facebook memories from 2019, I have listed, “the economy is great. Nissan just cut 12,600 more jobs.”. So it’s been ups and downs no one discusses.
I voted along with a lot more Mississippi people , for medical marijuana , look what happened!!! NOTHING
A big win for you would be to call a special session, for making the people vote what it is supposed to of been to start with. Other than that you just like bidden if not done gone next election.
You’re only as good as your last envelope-Silvio Dante
Please do not allow Dr Dobbs to enforce the Draconian law. The video of the meeting is all over YouTube. I fear this would lead to something far worse than COVID.
Toot that horn Governor! You are such a camera hog! 🎥
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
While you bragging,let see about this jail under a 50 year old mountain of household garbage in Winston county that is a state prison. Wish I could post pics airal.
Is this one of the companies that demanded you get rid of our 1894 flag?
How about more info on COVID-19 and what you plan to do since it is on the rise again
No masks!!! Really?!
#Awesome
I own a Nissan truck
I wish the people who liked and loved this post would actually read the article and hear the most important line in the whole article "As we have said many, many times: more law enforcement will not fix the myriad issues that are plaguing the city; issues that, ultimately, are an underlying cause of the excessive criminal behavior". This is an excellent first step, but I doubt that Tate or his supporters would be willing to allow the state to provide the kind of resources needed to rescue the city.
I really wish I could thank you too, Tate. However, you still haven’t called a special session to give the voters what they passed last November. You also haven’t corrected the ballot initiative process to give us our voices & votes back yet! So for now, unfortunately, I still have nothing to thank you for. It’s only been invalid for 21 years, but by all means please continue to take your sweet time to fix it! I’m not at all desperate to have my vote count or anything. Act now. #wearethe74
Governor Reeves most of us want to thank you for the fortitude you have taken to help and solve problems here in our state. We know some of your choices on policy was not going to be an aid to being popular but best for the state.
Good job! This is needed!
Again you say our Mississippi officers are important. Please treat them like they are. STOP TALKING AND START DOING! By working for the State of Mississippi, officers who keep us safe are subject to mandatory 100% wage attachment if they owe state income tax. This information is not published anywhere except in the Mississippi Code 27 7 45. This information is not found on their state job application, nor any of their handbooks, nor is public knowledge on the internet. So officers, thanks for helping us. Mississippi leaders applaud you in the newspapers, but will not give you, your wife, nor your small children money to buy food, housing, or medical care if you have a financial crisis and owe state income taxes. By working for private companies or the federal government, Mississippi can only take 25% of your wages, you can then afford food. Ask your coworkers who may have already quit various law agencies or started working for companies who really do value their service. May God bless you all, keep you safe, and be with you always!
Nothing but criticism every time you speak, Governor. I appreciate the good things you do and say.
The state police need to arrest you tate reeves, and every lawmaker in this state. You should all get time in state prison
I'm curious as to how increasing the amount of tickets written on the surrounding interstate is going to help. The Highway Patrol has out 3 trucks and two suvs out on 220 for the last 3 weeks to write tickets so JPD can patrol the inner city instead. The problem is this......JPD wasn't patrolling I220 anyway. And the Highway Patrol is mainly pulling over 18 wheelers because they are easy targets and will actually pay their tickets. But they aren't the problem. The speeding problem is the the cars that almost never get pulled over. I have been traveling the interstate every day twice a day for the last 12 weeks. I see what they do. It is for money and nothing else. If it was for safety, then they might actually pull over the cars that are the problem.
Thankful for the work of the Legislature and Governor that makes this possible. There are limits to what the state can do with respect to individual municipalities. It’s long overdue for the elected officials in Jackson to step up and focus on what each of them can do to assist in a positive way. The good residents of Jackson need to wake up and take their city back before it’s too late.
This should have been the first thing you did when entering office. But instead you screwed the good people of Mississippi out of their state flag. The lie you told will not be forgotten. One term Tate.
Might want to consider sending them to Mccomb MS to do what local leaders won’t do.
Governor, try stepping up to get more Mississippians to get vaccinated. I don’t know what it’s gonna take but you need to get on that, now.
Love our protectors- police Dept-sheriffs Dept-highway patrol
Doing a great job!
May God bless you Governor 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Really well if that little bit helped so much imagine what hiring enough Police Officers with decent pay would
No thanks to you Sir! You’ve been “headlining” in Florida all week!! 😳🥱
Counting down your days, tot.
Go Mississippi
NO THANK YOU TATER HEAD!!!!
🙏💙🇺🇸
All of the bigger cities used to be so prosperous with beautiful neighborhoods. Even the poorer neighborhoods were well maintained and safe. What’s the difference in then and now?
Not doing to well of a job because you aren’t being bars.
In reality, all we'll see is more people getting tickets for doing 10 over with the flow of traffic on 55
Just think tater, if you had not rolled over and showed your belly for Hoseman & Gunn, most of these people hating on you would instead be backing you 1000%
Governor, frankly, early on I saw you as a one-term governor. Now, not so sure about that. I have disagreed strongly on a couple things, but now admire the way you led through vaccinations and into the changed economy, your unflinching conservatism and care for all, no matter how much reviled. You just might be a pretty good governor, after all. Hang in there.
Dude- you have run Mississippi further into the ground than we were before you got elected- why in the ever loving hell would they want your presence in Florida? Also, in case you weren’t aware, we are in the middle of a pandemic where large crowds and masking is recommended in order to prevent the spread of the virus.
What a travesty! Headlining a big party while Mississippi, Louisana, Alabama are back in early Pandemic like cases and deaths. Mississippi “so-called leaders” do nothing!!!
How many of your fellow Republicans are vaccinated in this group? Watch out the Delta variant is following your candidate 😷😷😷
DeSantis is awesome! He’s a true leader. Take notes from him.
Re-electing DeSantis should be a no brainer same with you. We must have strong Republicans with backbones . You’re standing up against money, evil, the press and Hollywood That takes strength
They seriously had you come to Florida when you have done nothing to protect Mississippians from an overreaching government???
We won't take back anything until the election processes are cleaned up in every state.
👀Not a single mask in sight.. Whew, brave aren’t we😂
Take nothing back; all the voter suppression tactic in the world are not going to help y’all! If you can’t win fair & square you don’t deserve the position! Pray you all are vaccinated!
Take back the house 🤣🤣🤣🤣 how when not 1 republicans have done anything for the American people. I mean you haven’t done anything but promoted hate and prejudice across America reading dr. Seuss books is not what any republicans was elected for. Then every republican including desantis talked againstthe vaccines every since the pandemic started as I can recall he refused to make mask mandates and he refused to close anything until the hospital was overwhelmed with patients now all of sudden he wants people to get vaccinated he had to start thinking if blacks are getting vaccinated and republicans are not who do I have left to vote cause people are dying from COVID. Now Fox News believe in vaccines they need your vote none of these men care about your life. Look at the super spreader event they are at right now they can give a hill of beans about who lives or who dies. They just want your vote.
My home state and my current state... heartbreaking. The two of you could do so much and you are making the division even worse. Makes me so very sad. Work for unity.
Was the event held in the food court of the mall?
Lets get MS vaccinated so we don't have to shut down again. Mandate the vaccine.
Why are you are not taking care of Mississippi. Your state is last place in everything you can't afford to be anywhere besides Mississippi. Also Florida is a state we are asked not to visit, there you are not a mask in sight
You should be taking about the DELTA VARANT. It’s your responsibility as their state leader.
When are you going to have "a great time" or say something even remotely positive about the Mississippi Democrats. You're a child!!
While Reeves is out of town, meanwhile in Mississippi: “No legislation nor push to ban any semblance of CRT teaching in our schools; Still no word on how he plans to help the small businesses he destroyed; Still not holding Dobbs accountable for misleading statements about children and Covid as well as his using the Nazi term to describe citizens who have a differing opinion.”
Hospitals are filling up again and you are in a roomful of crowded people with no masks. 🙄
Should have warned them you were taking a picture. Ive seen happier people outside of funeral homes! And speaking of funeral homes, we are sure, like everyone else, you had no mask on! PLEASE!!! Go to Florida and bring germs home, now that’s what I call IRRESPONSIBLE!!
Not a mask in sight. Later you’ll be posting about Covid rates and pushing Mississippians to get vaccinated. Do people not see how hypocritical & bogus these politicians are on both sides?
FL today just reported over 12,000 cases.. and yet you're there raising money for Dr. Death. Back home, people who voted for you and trust you are getting sick and dying, just to own the libs. Quarantine when you return!!
I'm glad you were there! DeSantis must be elected!
This is so embarrassing for you. Mississippians deserve a leader invested in moving Mississippi forward (out of last place in everything) & not a groveling national GOP puppet.
Governor, you nor Mississippian can vote in Florida's election. With schools set to open next month what's the state's plan to keep children safe. For whatever reason our numbers are trending up, the economy is not where we wish it was, and crime is everywhere in your state, teachers are leaving the profession in our state, we say we value our teachers, yet you gave a thousand dollar raise which comes to about $3.33 a week. You are a numbers guy didn't you figure this out? So much the value we have for teachers. If the one hand wash the other applies, the he will be here to support you when your turn comes. I don't care where you go or support, just take care of home first.
ICYMI: This announcement was a big win for Mississippi!
@NissanUSA’s Canton vehicle assembly plant:
·Employs more than 5,000 people 👷♀️
·Has produced nearly 5 million vehicles 🛻
·Has an annual production capacity of more than 400,000 vehicles ⚙️
No thanks needed, @WLBT. Credit goes to the brave men and women who risk their lives everyday to keep our communities safe.
Consider This: The state is stepping up. Thank you!
It’s been less than a month since it has officially been in place, and it is already showing huge promise ...

Excited to represent MS @therga talking Dollars & (common) Cents with @flgovrondesantis @govlarryhogan @govricketts & @dougburgum. Economic freedom and conservative, pro-business policies will ensure our states continue to lead the recovery.
The @nationalguardms efforts to get Mississippians vaccinated during the pandemic has been nothing short of heroic. I’m honored to have presented awards to them this week across the state. Thank you all for your service!
@potus budget proposal & Dems spending plans remove the Hyde Amendment so your tax dollars can fund abortion.
Abortion is wrong. Taxpayer-funded abortions are wrong.
Thanks @repmichaelguest, @congressmanpalazzo, and @reptrentkelly for fighting to keep it in place. #HydeSavesLives
The production of the 2022 @nissanusa Frontier in Canton is a testament to the over 5,000 talented employees and Mississippi’s commitment to investing in our workforce.
Many states gave up on manufacturing 20 years ago. Not Mississippi.
The residents of Jackson aren’t asking for much, just the ability to walk down the street and not fear for their lives. I stand with them and am committed to ensuring their safety.
The brave men & women of @msarmyguard saved lives by ensuring every Mississippian who wants a vaccine has access to it! Today I had the honor of presenting awards to some of them in Tupelo. Thank you for your valiant service during this unprecedented global pandemic.
