   Brandon E. Presley (born 1977) is an American politician who has served   
   as a member of the Mississippi Public Service Commission from the   
   Northern District since 2008. A member of the Democratic Party, Presley   
   previously served as the mayor of Nettleton MS, from 2001-2007.   
      
   H was born in Amory MS and raised in Nettleton. His father was an   
   alcoholic and died when Brandon was eight years old, leaving him in   
   the sole care of his mother. His uncle, Harold Ray Presley, subsequently   
   served as a father figure for him. He studied at Itawamba Community College   
   and Mississippi State University.   
      
   Following months of speculation, Presley announced his candidacy for   
   Governor of Mississippi in the 2023 election on Jan. 12, 2023. Later that   
   month he delivered a response to incumbent Governor Tate Reeves' State of   
   the State address, advocating for the state to embrace Medicaid expansion   
   and accusing Reeves' of allowing rural hospitals to close.  On Feb. 16   
   the Mississippi Democratic Party's executive committee voted to disqualify   
   two minor candidates for the party's gubernatorial nomination for failing   
   to follow ethics disclosures, leaving Presley the only qualified candidate   
   in the Democratic primary.  Presley is a second cousin of Elvis Presley. He   
   lost 216 pounds during 2013-14.
