The2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Mississippi were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the fourU.S. representatives from thestate ofMississippi, one from each of the state's fourcongressional districts. The elections coincided withother elections to the House of Representatives,elections to theUnited States Senate and variousstate andlocal elections.
The elections were the first under Mississippi's new congressional map afterredistricting 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 RepresentativesMichael Guest andSteven Palazzo faced competitive primaries, where both went to runoffs; Palazzo was ultimately ousted byMike Ezell in the runoff, mainly in part to an investigation into Palazzo's supposed misuse of campaign funds.[5][6] Republican representativeTrent 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]
