LIVE: Governor Tate Reeves

Tonight, I am signing the bill to retire the 1894 Mississippi flag and begin the process of selecting a new one—emblazoned with the words “In God We Trust.” This is not a political moment, it is a solemn occasion to come together as a Mississippi family, reconcile, and move forward together. Now, more than ever, we must lean on our faith, put our divisions behind us, and unite for a greater good.
