Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has been announced for a national leadership role, being elected to serve as vice chair of the Republican Governors Association.
RGA announced Reeves as its vice chair Tuesday alongside the announcement of a new chair and policy chair: Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte and Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, respectively. The election occurred at the RGA’s annual conference with one-year terms beginning immediately for all three.
“As the Democrat Party sprints toward socialism, it’s never been more important for states to elect Republican governors,” Reeves stated after the election. “America is at a crossroads, and Republican governors are the first line of defense from the radical left’s radical policies.”
According to its website, the RGA is dedicated to “one primary objective,” that being to elect and support GOP governors. Currently, 27 of 50 states have Republican governors – a number Reeves hopes to increase through his new role.
“We’re focusing on the things that matter – like creating high-paying jobs, investing in American families, and keeping neighborhoods in our states safe,” he continued. “Alongside Governor Gianforte, Governor Lee, and President Trump, we’ll continue to elect more Republican governors and expand the American Dream.”
The Mississippi Republican Party also commended Reeves for his work both statewide and nationally.
“Governor Tate Reeves will make a strong impact on the national stage and continue to show everyone why conservative policies work and why Mississippi has momentum!” the party wrote on social media.
