The Home Builders Association of Jackson has endorsed Tate Reeves' candidacy for Lt. Governor. In the endorsement, President Wade Quin noted Tate’s “experience as a conservative money manager” and his success “in protecting taxpayers as Mississippi’s State Treasurer.”
“I’m honored to be receiving the endorsement of such a respected organization,” said Reeves. “The work of these law enforcement officials ensures a better Mississippi for everyone. I pledge to do all I can to support these brave men and women.”
“Our campaign is built on a strong grassroots effort with volunteers and contributors from all 82 counties. Our continued fundraising success is proof positive that our message focused on being more fiscally responsible, lowering the state’s debt burden and cutting spending is resonating with voters all across Mississippi,” said Reeves.
Tate Reeves’ campaign for Lt. Governor is calling on Billy Hewes to stop the discredited practice known as push-polling. Numerous Reeves supporters have alerted the campaign to being called and asked for whom they are voting and then being read a series of false, misleading statements about Tate Reeves in an attempt to change their vote and skew the poll.
Mississippi Treasurer Tate Reeves, Republican candidate for Lt. Governor, released information on a poll his campaign conducted last week that shows Reeves with a 40-point lead heading into the final weeks before the August 2nd Republican primary. Reeves’ campaign released a memo from pollster Wes Anderson.
Republican candidate for Lt. Governor Tate Reeves announced today that his campaign will be expanding its television advertising campaign into three new markets later this week. The ad called ‘Enough,’ which is on the air now in Jackson, Hattiesburg and select cable systems will begin airing in the Biloxi-Gulfport market tomorrow and in the Meridian and Columbus-Tupelo areas on Friday.
During the first 12 ½ years of Billy Hewes’ long career as a state legislator, the state’s total bonded indebtedness grew more than 392% (14.21% annually).
During the last 7 ½ years of Billy Hewes’ long career as a state legislator, the state’s total bonded indebtedness grew 18% (2.1% annually).
The difference? Tate Reeves has served as State Treasurer for the last 7 ½ years, and Haley Barbour has served as Governor.
In the one-month period of May 2011, Reeves raised $163,395 and reported cash on hand of $1,788,220.17. Those figures set a record for a campaign for Lt. Governor in Mississippi, both for the amount of funds raised in the period and cash on hand. In 2007 the two Republican candidates for Lt. Governor raised $118,215.71 combined and had a combined cash on hand total of $1,772,370.84.
