We ask for your understanding and continued prayer as I recover over the next several weeks. I have enjoyed making new friends and reacquainting with old ones through the campaign process. Your overwhelming support has meant the world to me and I want to thank each and every one of you who have campaigned for me and endorsed me, as well as those of you have placed my signs on your property on my behalf. In the next few days we will be picking up my signs across the county, so please do not be alarmed if yours is missing, also please let me know if you see any we have missed," Reese shared.

"Pearl River County has been a great home to me and my family and we ask that you join us as we pray for the future leadership of this county.”
