The Latest
The sun came up this morning, we cruised back to Hollandale, and settled back into a normal routine already by talking only about football and hunting.
I can’t thank all my supporters enough for your votes. It’s very humbling to think about fine people from all over the state, most of whom you’ve never met, learning about you and then deciding to vote for you. I’m eternally grateful.
I especially can’t thank those enough who donated to my campaign, and those who opened their homes to host a fundraiser. We will never forget you.
Thanks to all texted, emailed, called, posted on social media, etc. on my behalf.
Ours was a true grassroots campaign.
This goes for all my friends and supporters during my 4 terms in the Senate too.
In my first term someone told me about how politics, from a candidate perspective, will reveal who your real friends are. This is very true and I’m proud to have some of the best friends a guy could hope to have. Legislators, Capitol employees, agency employees, lobbyists, and just good folks you meet as a result of being in office. During these years I’ve made some life long friendships.
Then there are those who you thought were your friends and.......well, let’s just say this is what that guy was trying to tell me in my first term.
God bless Mississippi.
Please drop by if you’re ever around Hollandale.
Buck, it was a great run and your supporters admire you and Paula so much. Just spend this time with family and grow in this life experiences you have gained.
Thank you for your excellent service to Mississippi. This was a disappointing loss and we hope to see your name on a ballot again.
Thanks for trying, you are a winner in my book.
Hardy Mitchell and I are so proud of you. You did an amazing job representing MS. It is certainly a loss for Mississippi!! You were by far the most qualified. You are above reproach and a True gentleman always!!! Praying for you and Paula as you regroup. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do for Mississippi!!! Hugs!!!
We voted for you! You have been a true Mississippi statesman. You are the example of how things are suppose to work in our state government. Enjoy your time till you can run again! 👏👏
Thanks for what you have done for Mississippians!
Mr. Chairman, thank you for your exemplary service to our state!!!
All the best! A great man, steadfast in values and integrity! A race well run! Thanks for 16 years! Blessings!
...who you thought were your friends... breaks my heart. You have done an incredible job in public service! I thank you for a job well done!
No finer public servant or dear friend since Laura Leigh and I served as Ms Senate Chaplain with you and so enjoyed our groups weekly devotions and prayer time in the Senate together. Laura Leigh and I appreciate y’all so much!! Godspeed
You’re the best of the best! Thank you for all you have done for our great state and the Delta.
I only hope that young Mr. McRae will be as loyal and dedicated to our state as you are. Thanks for your service and may God Bless you and your family.
Buck I was so surprised that you lost- you are totally qualified and so many people that I know voted for you. You and Paula will be fine because God has great plans for you. Love, Rita & Sam.
We are proud of you Buck for your dedicated service to the State of Mississippi. Politics,as you know, is a crazy game.
Mississippi’s loss for you sure are the most qualified to be our Treasurer! Yes life goes on and get some much needed rest!
Thank you so much for your service to Mississippi! You are a true scholar and gentleman. Don’t forget us!
You’re a true friend, Buck, to so many and to Mississippi. You were certainly the most qualified. Sorry some cared more about getting their friend in office than the best man and best qualified. But I believe it will all work for the better for you and your family, especially in the long run.
Sad about the Outcome. You were definitely most qualified. Welcome home. Praying for you during this transition. 🙌🏻
I hope you aren’t done serving our state! Heartbreaking loss.
Proud of you for serving the State of MS. A true servant.

Buck, Curtis and I have been thinking about you and appreciate all the good work that you have done over the years for Mississippi and our area. God bless you!
It was Mississippi’s lost...because you are the most qualified for the job! God will Bless you and your family! Welcome home!
Thank you for your willingness to offer yourself for public service!
While the results weren’t in our favor, I’m proud of the race we ran. Congratulations to David McRae for Mississippi Treasurer on his election. I will, of course, support all Republicans this November.
I know the pain of losing the election, having experienced it with my girls’ father, Bob Jones when he ran the same race in the 60’s. It was a good experience in many ways, getting across our state in areas unknown previously and meeting so many nice people. My heart goes out to y’all.❤️
What a class act you and Paula are!! Best wishes in your future endeavors that I hope will continue to be in public service.
I voted for you and I to will vote conservative in the fall.
You had my vote. Thanks for running a dignified race.
We love the Clarkes!!Proud of you!

I’m sad to read this. You ran a clean campaign and had the best political commercial! There will be another opportunity. #KeepTheJacket🇺🇸
Congratulations on the manner in which you conducted yourself during this race!
Thank you for your service to our state. And thank you for being willing to serve as our treasurer. I wish the outcome had been different.

I loved your saying....you send bucks to the state, send this Buck and I’ll take care of it.....or something of that sort
I voted for you and friends did too
We voted for you Buck, here in Tupelo. Good luck to you and best wishes for you and your family.
Voted proudly here in Tupelo, and still sending out calls and reminders. My 83 year old daddy reminds everyone he sees to vote for you! Ran into Murray Estess at our precinct, and we're thankful for you and praying for good results!
I voted for you, Buck !
Best of luck!
I voted. Cast my vote for Buck Clarke. ☑️
We voted for you Buck!!!
Only 13 hours remaining until the polls open tomorrow morning! What an amazing campaign season it has been. Since I announced in December of last year, I have been on the road asking Mississippians like you for their vote. So when you are casting your ballot tomorrow, please take a moment to pray and remember those who have sacrificed everything for us to have this right. This country is great because brave men and women have died so that we can choose our leaders. Voting is a right, but it is also our duty. I ask you to honor these heroes by casting your ballot tomorrow. I hope I can continue to serve our great state as our next Treasurer! #OneMoreBuck
Wish I could vote!
Good luck Buck! #One More Buck‼️
Good luck my friend!!
Good Luck tomorrow! You do have this! 🍀
You’ve got my vote and I’ve been telling everyone I know to vote for you too! Good luck!!

Standing with you & Paula!!!

Mississippi didn’t want me to be state Treasurer. I’ve got of work to do. It was an honor to have been a candidate for a state wide position.
While the results weren’t in our favor, I’m proud of the race we ran. Congratulations to @DavidMcRaeMS on his election. I will, of course, support all Republicans this November.
I remember this jacket. We appreciate you stepping up to take this responsibility on my friend. @BuckForMS
