Nettleton –  If you catch one moment from tonight’s Mississippi gubernatorial debate, let it be this one, that makes the contrast between the two candidates clearer than ever.

As Tate Reeves failed to defend his record of leaving Mississippi families behind on the debate stage tonight, Brandon made a firm promise to treat each Mississippian with dignity and respect, invoking his faith and his family as he told the moderator, "I believe everybody I meet is a child of God... And I believe we should treat them with dignity and respect.”
