## Summary

Mississippi State Auditor Shad White has announced a run for governor in 2027, promising to tackle corruption, wasteful spending and what he calls a “good ol’ boys’ club” in state politics. He says his audits show a need for greater accountability and argues that the state’s political leadership lacks the courage to address fraud while families face rising costs.

White says his office has identified more than $75 million in stolen or misspent taxpayer funds over eight years, including over $77 million in misspent welfare funds; it has also issued $115 million in financial demands across investigations. His proposals include cutting the grocery and car taxes and freezing property taxes, as well as supporting veterans and military families. He joins a field that includes Attorney General Lynn Fitch and Agriculture and Commerce Commissioner Andy Gipson; Republican Governor Tate Reeves is term-limited.
