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. All four races were considered uncompetitive in the general election and turnout from Mississippians was the lowest out of the entire United States, measuring in at 31.5%. 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. Republican representative Trent Kelly was the sole representative of the Mississippi delegation to receive a Trump endorsement and faced no serious challenge. The partisan composition of the delegation remained the same after the election.
The 1st district takes in the northeastern area of the state, including Columbus, Oxford, Southaven, and Tupelo. The incumbent was Republican Trent Kelly, who was re-elected with 68.7% of the vote in 2020.
The 2nd district encompasses the Mississippi Delta, taking in most of Jackson, the riverfront cities of Greenville, Natchez and Vicksburg, and the interior market cities of Clarksdale, Greenwood and Clinton. The district was expanded during the 2020 census redistricting. The incumbent was Democrat Bennie Thompson, who was re-elected with 66.0% of the vote in 2020. Thompson cruised to re-election as expected, though Brian Flowers did give him his toughest race since 2004, when Clinton LeSueur achieved 41% of the vote.
The 3rd district is located in eastern and southwestern Mississippi, taking in Meridian, Starkville, Pearl, Brookhaven, and most of the wealthier portions of Jackson, including the portion of the city located in Rankin County. The district was reduced to include only four of the cities, plus a wealthy area of Jackson due to 2020 census redistricting. The incumbent was Republican Michael Guest, who was elected with 64.7% of the vote in 2020. Guest managed to flip Kemper County, which gave Joe Biden 61.02% of the vote in the 2020 presidential election.
The 4th district encompasses the Mississippi Gulf Coast, including Gulfport, Biloxi, Hattiesburg, Bay St. Louis, Laurel, and Pascagoula. The incumbent was Republican Steven Palazzo, who was re-elected unopposed in 2020.
