White has served as state auditor since 2018, and his campaign points to more than $75 million recovered through his office's fraud, waste and abuse cases. His platform calls for eliminating the state income tax, freezing local property taxes, and creating education freedom accounts for Mississippi families.

Gov. Tate Reeves is term-limited, and Mississippi elects its next governor in November 2027.
