Gov. Tate Reeves seeking 'complete elimination' of income tax in Mississippi as he runs for re-election

Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves is working toward the "complete elimination" of the income tax in his state, saying if he is re-elected this year there is "a path to do so."

In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Reeves, who filed paperwork last week to run for re-election, said he is committed to continuing his work in the state and looks to expound on a number of promises and goals he has made since he took office.

"I'm seeking a second term to be the governor of the state of Mississippi because we've made such tremendous progress over the last three years pushing conservative values and ensuring that we do a fantastic job of investing in our people," Reeves said. "We've been very successful at seeing our economy grow. We've stressed freedom in difficult times, and our people have responded."
