Gov. Tate Reeves’ campaign says a cease-and-desist letter from a solar energy company had nothing to do with changes made to a TV ad.
by Bobby Harrison, Mississippi Today October 26, 2023 Gov. Tate Reeves’ campaign says a cease-and-desist letter from a solar energy company had nothing to do with changes made to a campaign advertisement that accused Democratic gubernatorial candidate Brandon Presley and the company of violating state law.
Solar energy company threatens to sue Tate Reeves campaign for airing ‘defamatory’ TV ad After the letter was sent and reported by Mississippi Today and others, the Reeves campaign began running a slightly different commercial. The new ad still says Presley violated state law by taking donations from"green energy companies he regulates," but the ad no longer uses the names of the Silicon Ranch officials who made the contributions or a prominent photo of a solar energy executive.
