Mississippi Center for Public Policy Celebrates Statewide Success with Governor Tate Reeves and National Review Editor Rich Lowry
Jackson, Miss. — October 28, 2025 — The Mississippi Center for Public Policy hosted its Celebration of Mississippi Success Gala on Thursday, October 23, at the Country Club of Jackson, honoring the state’s growing achievements in education, economic development, and freedom-driven policy.
Governor Tate Reeves joined Rich Lowry, editor of National Review, and Speaker of the House Jason White for an evening celebrating the policies and people shaping Mississippi’s future.
Governor Reeves spoke candidly with MCPP President and CEO Douglas Carswell about Mississippi’s remarkable economic momentum and the conservative principles guiding the state’s growth. Speaker Jason White outlined his vision for the 2026 Legislative Session, reaffirming that school choice remains his top priority for Mississippi families.
Lowry, a longtime advocate of federalism and American exceptionalism, delivered the evening’s keynote address, emphasizing that Mississippi’s success is a model for how pro-growth, pro-family policies can drive renewal in states across the nation.
“Mississippi is proving that conservative principles work — lower taxes, limited government, and personal freedom are creating real opportunities for families and businesses alike,” said Douglas Carswell, President & CEO of MCPP.
The gala brought together leaders from government, business, and civil society to celebrate the shared progress made toward a freer, more prosperous Mississippi.
