| Tate Reeves Officially Becomes 65th Governor Of Mississippi |
| What Happened: |
| Republican Tate Reeves was officially sworn in as the new Governor of the Magnolia State on Tuesday. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Reeves, to his credit, has some lofty goals for the state of Mississippi: more workforce training, teacher pay raises and improved education, an environment that makes it easy to run a business...and that’s just the beginning! Reeves also stressed in his inauguration speech that he’ll be "for all Mississippi." |
| What Happens Next: |
| We have no doubt Reeves will deliver great things for the people of Mississippi! |

| Senate To Open Impeachment Trial Against President Trump |
| What Happened: |
| After much delay, the House officially delivered articles of impeachment to the Senate this week, meaning the ball is now in the upper chamber’s...court (pun intended). |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Speaker Pelosi’s delay in sending the articles to the Senate overshadowed any argument she ever made about it being a non-partisan and somber moment. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called the House process a "circus," and we’re hard-pressed to argue with him... |
| What Happens Next: |
| The trial in the Senate will function much like any other courtroom trial. Members of the House will make their case, senators will get the chance to ask questions, and the jurors (senators) will ultimately decide the president’s fate. |

| States With GOP Governors Lead on Jobs, Economy Growth |
| What Happened: |
| New analysis released shows that states with Republican governors tend to have both lower unemployment rates AND stronger economic growth. That’s what we call winning! |
| Why You Should Care: |
| The evidence that there’s a clear link between Republican governors and economic success is overwhelming. Neither voters nor companies (and the jobs that come with them!) are enticed by high tax burdens and costly regulations. Seems like a pretty simple concept...We don’t get why Democrat politicians don’t seem to understand it, either! |
| What Happens Next: |
| Next: States with GOP leadership continue to flourish! |
