![]() |
The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Mississippi were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the four U.S. representatives from the state of Mississippi, one from each of the state's four congressional districts. The elections coincided with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections.
The elections were the first under Mississippi's new congressional map after redistricting completed by the state government. [1] All four races were considered uncompetitive in the general election [2] [3] and turnout from Mississippians was the lowest out of the entire United States, measuring in at 31.5%. [4] Republican Representatives Michael Guest and Steven Palazzo faced competitive primaries, where both went to runoffs; Palazzo was ultimately ousted by Mike Ezell in the runoff, mainly in part to an investigation into Palazzo's supposed misuse of campaign funds. [5] [6] Republican representative Trent Kelly was the sole representative of the Mississippi delegation to receive a Trump endorsement and faced no serious challenge. [6] The partisan composition of the delegation remained the same after the election. [2]
