2023 MS Governor's race: on Education


Tate Reeves: Be cautious of funding change supported by liberal activists

Be very cautious of a last minute change in funding formula that seems to have unanimous support amongst Democrats in Senate and liberal activist groups. Very very cautious. Instead of funneling more money to the District offices--where our kids won't see it--why not another teacher pay raise? Put it in the classroom!

Brandon Presley: I will stand with teachers to fully fund public education

The Mississippi Association of Educators endorsed Democrat Brandon Presley for governor. "As a proud product of public schools and the son of a preschool teacher, it's an honor to earn the support of thousands of educators across this state," Presley said. He continued, "Mississippi educators know that as governor, I will stand with them to fully fund public education so we can position our state towards the economy of the future."
