Reeves names over 100 Mississippians to state posts

Gov. Tate Reeves announced in a Facebook post that he has appointed over 100 Mississippians to positions within state government.

Reeves said in the post, “Today, I’m announcing the appointment of over 100 Mississippians to positions within state government.” He added that he is confident the appointees have the talent and dedication needed to strengthen the state.

Appointments by a governor typically fill roles on executive agencies, boards and commissions that oversee services such as education, transportation, public health and economic development. These posts shape how state policies are implemented and how programs reach residents across Mississippi.

Some gubernatorial appointments may require confirmation by the state legislature; the Facebook post did not list names or the specific positions included in the announcement. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
