Brandon Presley, a distant cousin of Elvis Presley, announced on Twitter that he's running for governor of Mississippi. Presley, a Democrat who currently serves on the Public Service Commission since 2007, hopes to take on Republican Gov. Tate Reeves, who announced last week that he would seek reelection. In his announcement video, Presley went after the governor, calling him corrupt. "I'm running for governor because I know Mississippi can do better," said Presley. "We got a state filled with good people but horrible politicians and that includes our governor . Tate Reeves is a man with zero conviction and maximum corruption."
