Election to office

Reeves entered the 2003 GOP Primary a virtual unknown, and was a longshot to beat Wayne Burkes and state representative Andrew Ketchings of Natchez. However, Reeves proved an excellent fundraiser and gained strength in counties that were GOP strongholds, such as Lamar, Desoto, and Rankin. Reeves led the GOP primary, and routed Burkes in the primary run-off.

In the general election, Reeves defeated past Gary Anderson, the state's director of finance & administration, to become Mississippi's first GOP state treasurer since Reconstruction.

During his first year in office, he was elected Vice President of the National Association of State Treasurers.
